What is the Meniscus, and Why is it Important for Joint Function?

The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage located between the thighbone (femur) and shinbone (tibia) in your knee. Each knee has two menisci—one on the inside (medial) and one on the outside (lateral). They act as shock absorbers, stabilizers, and lubricators for the joint.

When the meniscus is torn—whether from sports, injury, or gradual wear—it can lead to pain, swelling, locking of the knee, and long-term issues like arthritis if left untreated.

How is Meniscal Repair Performed?

Meniscal repair is a minimally invasive procedure done through arthroscopy, where a camera and specialized tools are inserted into small incisions around the knee. Unlike traditional partial meniscectomy (removal of the damaged tissue), meniscal repair preserves the meniscus, which is better for long-term knee health.
