Not every meniscus tear is straightforward, which is why precision is so important.
This tear wasn’t straight.
It overlapped, reached back to the joint capsule, and then curved, almost like a zipper coming apart.
If not treated, it can keep peeling and get worse over time.
Here’s what happens during the procedure:
• The damaged tissue is cleaned and prepared with care
• Suture anchors are used to hold and stabilize the tear
• The goal is to restore the knee’s structure and stop more damage from happening
The repair turned out well.
But the most important part comes next: healing.
Even the best repair relies on what happens after surgery.
If you have knee pain, catching, or instability, don’t ignore it. Getting treatment early can make a big difference.
