Meniscus

Arthroscopic meniscus repair techniques

The meniscus is a very important structure to stabilize the knee. In sports activities with rotational forces in the knee we see a lot of injuries over time. The kinematic significance of the meniscus  is crucial for the durability of the joint. A defect or a loss of meniscus structure results in painful osteoarthritis and limits sports activity.

Therefore arthroscopic surgery uses state-of-the-art techniques to preserve the meniscus. Smaller tears of the meniscus can be treated by physiotherapy and a specific training. Larger tears, an unstable outcome and blocking, which causes knee irritation, requires an arthroscopic partial removal of meniscal tissue.
For fresh torn meniscal tears in younger patients, the meniscus should be reattached with a suture.
In cases of substantial meniscal loss, or even after previous surgeries with partial meniscus resection, a meniscus matrix can be a treatment option. The restoration of a meniscus is the key to prevent osteoarthritis and chronic pain in the knee.
  • Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy in older tears
  • Arthroscopic meniscal repair with sutures in fresh tears at the base
  • Arthroscopic meniscus replacement with artifical scaffolds, in certain cases collagen meniscus implant (CMI). Both options are useful in younger active patients.
