Arthroscopic Meniscectomy in Indore
Quick Relief from Meniscus Tears. Faster Return to Activity.
A meniscus tear is one of the most common knee injuries and can cause sharp pain, swelling, and limited mobility. At Ortho Pro Clinic, Dr. Ravindra Gupta offers arthroscopic meniscectomy — a minimally invasive procedure to remove the torn part of the meniscus and relieve knee discomfort effectively.
🔍 What is a Meniscectomy?
Meniscectomy is a surgical procedure where the damaged or torn portion of the meniscus (a C-shaped cartilage in the knee) is trimmed and removed to restore smooth joint movement and relieve pain.
When the tear is irreparable or degenerative, removing the damaged tissue can prevent further knee damage and improve mobility.
