Meniscus tear assessment with ultrasound and arthroscopy

• Orthopedic consultation: An orthopedist-traumatologist assesses the knee and discusses care options.
• Ultrasound diagnostics: Imaging helps assess the knee joint.
• Diagnostic arthroscopy: A camera is used to examine the knee joint and can also guide treatment.
• Pre-operative laboratory tests: Tests form part of the workup before surgery.

Arthroscopic and non-surgical treatment options

• Arthroscopic meniscus repair: The surgeon stitches the torn meniscus through small incisions. This aims to preserve the meniscus and its cushioning function. Same-day discharge may be possible, and the clinic reports a recovery period of up to 3 days.
• Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy: The surgeon removes the torn portion when repair is not possible. This can address mechanical pain and knee locking. Same-day discharge may be possible, with a reported recovery period of up to 3 days.
• Arthroscopic joint debridement: The surgeon removes loose tissue fragments and smooths the joint surface. Same-day discharge may be possible.
• Chondroplasty: Cartilage damage can be treated during knee arthroscopy.
• Cruciate ligament reconstruction: Arthroscopic ligament surgery can be combined with meniscus repair when a ligament injury also affects knee stability.
• Joint injections: Non-surgical injections are an option for degenerative meniscus or cartilage changes, arthrosis, and ligament restoration.
• Reconstructive orthopedic surgery: Surgery can correct post-traumatic deformities and changes in limb alignment.

Meniscus repair may be combined with cruciate ligament reconstruction or chondroplasty in one session. Request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss the available options.
