Diagnostics for Meniscus Tear
Accurate diagnosis is the first step. The clinic provides a comprehensive evaluation. Available diagnostics include:
- Orthopedic surgeon consultation
- MRI scan
- Pre-operative blood tests
This process helps confirm the tear's location and severity. It determines the best treatment path.
Surgical Treatment Options
The clinic specializes in minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures. These techniques use small incisions and a camera. This leads to less tissue damage and faster recovery. The main surgical options are:
- Arthroscopic meniscectomy: This procedure removes the damaged part of the meniscus. It aims to relieve pain and improve knee function. Hospitalization typically lasts one night.
- Meniscus repair: This surgery stitches the torn meniscus back together. It preserves the natural cushioning tissue of the knee. Hospitalization also typically requires one night.
Both procedures are performed by Dr. Tartarone. The treatment package generally includes the initial consultation, pre-operative tests, the surgical procedure itself, medical materials, medicines, and one night of hospitalization. Flights and extended accommodation are not included.
Ospedale San Carlo di Nancy is a long-established clinic founded in 1932. It is accredited by the Italian National Health Service. Patients can explore these surgical options to address knee pain and restore mobility.
