What really happens during meniscus surgery? 🩺Every case starts the same way: evaluate, confirm, then decide the best approach. In this case, the patient presents with a meniscus tear, but that’s not the full story. 🦵During evaluation, it’s important to also look for: • Signs of arthritis in the knee • Joint conditions around the tear • Hip mobility, which can impact knee stress If the meniscus is repairable, it’s preserved and stitched. If not, the damaged portion is carefully trimmed to restore function. Because orthopedic care isn’t just about fixing one structure. It’s about understanding how the entire joint system works together. The goal: Relieve pain, restore movement, and protect long-term joint health. #orthopedics #meniscustear #kneepain #sportsmedicine #jointhealth
