Discoid Meniscus Surgery Repair in Jaipur at KNEECARES

When a discoid meniscus, often affecting the lateral meniscus, tears, treatment is typically necessary to address the associated symptoms. Most of the time, the meniscus is quite thin and degenerated when it tears, requiring a significant portion to be removed. Efforts are made to restore a more normal shape to the lateral meniscus by trimming the edges, leaving some healthy meniscal tissue intact.

  4. Description of Discoid Meniscus Surgery For patients who undergo a resection or saucerization of a discoid lateral meniscus, close monitoring is essential to watch for any signs of knee arthritis development. The lateral meniscus plays a crucial role in absorbing shock in the lateral compartment, often handling up to 70% of it. As a result, patients are advised to promptly inform their physicians or seek evaluation if they experience pain or swelling during activities, which can be an early indication of arthritis.
