UNDERSTANDING YOUR TREATMENT
Move towards a more comfortable everyday life
The meniscus is a cushion of cartilage inside your knee. A tear can cause pain, swelling or catching. Knee arthroscopy uses a small camera and instruments through tiny cuts to examine the joint and treat damaged tissue. The aim is to improve comfort and movement when surgery is appropriate.
01
Help with catching and restricted movement
Treatment can address damaged tissue that causes mechanical symptoms such as catching or locking.
02
Understand what your knee needs
Your specialist reviews your scans and symptoms, and considers whether exercises or surgery offer the best next step.
03
A recovery plan for your procedure
Guidance on walking and exercises is tailored to whether the meniscus is trimmed or repaired.
PROCEDURE OPTIONS
Understand trimming and repair
The procedure depends on the type and location of the tear. Your specialist aims to preserve useful meniscus tissue where possible.
Arthroscopic meniscectomy
Hospital treatment from £3,630
Keyhole removal of the damaged part of the meniscus, often called trimming. This is the procedure priced in the hospital tariff.
Meniscus repair stitches suitable tears together. Your specialist assesses whether repair is an option and confirms it in your personalised plan.
