Meniscus Tear

At Guru Orthopedic Speciality Clinic, we specialize in the expert diagnosis and treatment of meniscus tears, helping patients recover from knee pain, swelling, and restricted movement. Led by Dr. Akshay Hanamshetti, our clinic offers advanced arthroscopic procedures and rehabilitation programs to restore knee function and prevent long-term damage.

What is a Meniscus Tear?

The meniscus is a C-shaped cartilage in the knee that acts as a shock absorber, protecting the joint from wear and tear. A meniscus tear can occur due to:

✔ Sports injuries – Sudden twists, pivots, or tackles.

✔ Aging & degeneration – Weak cartilage in older adults.

✔ Accidents & trauma – Falls or direct blows to the knee.

Symptoms of a Meniscus Tear

✅ Knee pain & swelling – Worsens after activity.

✅ Locking or catching sensation – Knee gets stuck in a bent position.

✅ Difficulty straightening the knee – Stiffness & limited motion.

✅ Clicking or popping sounds – Especially when moving the knee.

✅ Instability – Feeling of the knee “giving way.”

Treatment Options for Meniscus Tears

✅ Non-Surgical Treatment (For Minor Tears)

• Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation (RICE) – Reduces swelling & pain.
• Medications & Injections – Anti-inflammatory drugs or PRP therapy.
• Physiotherapy & Strength Training – Helps regain knee stability & mobility.

✅ Arthroscopic Meniscus Surgery (For Severe Tears)

Minimally invasive, keyhole surgery with fast recovery.

• Meniscus Repair – Stitches the torn cartilage (best for young, healthy tissue).
• Partial Meniscectomy – Removes the damaged portion to restore smooth movement.
• Meniscus Transplant – Replaces missing meniscus with a donor graft (for severe cases).
