Arthroscopic Meniscal Repair in Indore
Preserve Your Natural Knee. Restore Pain-Free Motion.
Meniscal tears are one of the most common knee injuries, especially among athletes and active individuals. At Ortho Pro Clinic, Dr. Ravindra Gupta specializes in arthroscopic meniscal repair, a minimally invasive procedure that helps restore joint stability, reduce pain, and preserve natural knee cartilage.
🔍 What is the Meniscus?
The meniscus is a C-shaped cartilage in the knee that acts as a cushion between the femur (thighbone) and tibia (shinbone). Each knee has two menisci — medial and lateral. A tear can occur due to trauma or degeneration, causing pain, swelling, and limited movement.
⚠️ Common Symptoms of a Meniscal Tear:
- Sudden knee pain after twisting or squatting
- Swelling that develops within 24–48 hours
- Locking or catching sensation in the knee
- Difficulty in fully bending or straightening the leg
- Feeling of the knee “giving way”
- Sports involving twisting or pivoting motions
- Lifting heavy objects or sudden movements
- Age-related cartilage wear (degenerative tears)
- Direct trauma or falls on the knee
- Detailed physical examination (McMurray’s test, joint line tenderness)
- MRI scan to assess tear type and location
- Evaluation of knee stability & function
Arthroscopic meniscus repair is a keyhole surgical technique used to stitch and repair the torn cartilage rather than removing it. Preserving the meniscus helps protect long-term knee function and reduces the risk of arthritis.
