Torn Meniscus Surgery | Arthroscopic Meniscectomy

Torn Meniscus: To Repair or Remove? This is a key surgical consideration for your knee. 💡 Understanding the difference is essential: ⚠️ Repair aims to preserve the joint's natural cushion. ⚠️ Removal (Meniscectomy) addresses the damaged tissue but alters joint mechanics.
