Meniscectomy

Meniscectomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of a damaged meniscus from the knee. The meniscus is a C-shaped cartilage in the knee joint that acts as a cushion and stabilizer.

Indications for Meniscectomy:

• Meniscus Tear: Typically due to injury or degeneration.
• Meniscal Cyst: A fluid-filled sac that can cause pain or swelling.
• Meniscal Degeneration: Often seen in older adults, where the meniscus has worn out over time.
