Who it is for
- • Meniscal tear, ramp lesion, or root avulsion
- • Mechanical locking, catching, or swelling after injury
- • Focal cartilage injury suitable for preservation techniques
- • Diagnostic assessment of the knee when imaging is inconclusive
Minimally invasive keyhole surgery for meniscal tears, cartilage lesions, and mechanical locking of the knee. High-definition arthroscopy allows targeted repair or debridement while protecting healthy tissue.
Surgical approach
- • 4 mm high-definition arthroscopic portals
- • Meniscal repair preferred over resection whenever tissue quality allows
- • Cartilage restoration or debridement matched to lesion type
- • Early protected motion to avoid stiffness
Recovery
- • Brace and crutches protocols vary by repair type
- • Desk work often resumes within days when the meniscus is not repaired
- • Running and pivoting only after strength and hop testing when repair is performed
