PROCEDURE PROFILE

Meniscus Repair

Arthroscopic joint preservation to repair torn cartilage shock-absorbers in the knee.

The meniscus acts as a crucial shock absorber, protecting knee cartilage from friction. When torn, it causes pain, clicking, and premature wear. Rather than removing this tissue (which increases arthritis risks), Dr. Sai Dinesh prioritizes meniscus repair using advanced all-inside suture anchors to preserve joint health.

Procedure Advantages

Meniscus repair preserves the native cushion of the joint, ensuring long-term recovery:

  • ✔ Delays Osteoarthritis: Retaining the native meniscus absorbs loading impact, delaying cartilage wear.
  • ✔ Resolves Clicking & Locking: Repairs unstable tears that catch during bending.
  • ✔ Strong Biological Healing: Double-row anchoring encourages healthy tissue integration.

Recovery Journey

Week 1 – 4: Rest & Limited Weight-bearing

Patient wears a hinged brace. Non-weight-bearing exercises to safeguard sutures.

Week 6+: Guided Bending

Therapist introduces flexion angles past 90 degrees. Weight-bearing increases gradually.

Month 4+: Return to Play

High-level movements, squats, and agility drills start, returning patient to full fitness.
