The meniscus performs an essential function in the human body in allowing the knee joint to absorb impacts. Damage to meniscus cartilage can result in the loss of range of movement in the knee and pain resulting from use. The London Cartilage Clinic offers meniscus tear repair treatments to ensure our patients can return to their usual activities and live life to the fullest. We believe no one should be in pain when it can be easily relieved with modern medicine.

Why might you need meniscus repair?

Meniscus repair can involve a range of surgical options to treat meniscus tears effectively. Whatever the severity, this type of injury can negatively affect quality of life by limiting movement and making day-to-day tasks harder.

It is especially problematic for people who are regularly active. Untreated meniscus tears can also contribute to the progression of knee osteoarthritis, which repair may help delay.

The benefits of meniscus repair from London Cartilage Clinic

Meniscus damage can compromise the cartilage function that protects the knee joint and surrounding bones. Repair treatments are important for restoring this protective role. We offer a range of options designed to relieve symptoms in the short term and reduce future complication risk.

Our healthcare professionals use advanced techniques, materials, and tools, including support structures that stabilise the joint while natural healing takes place. This helps us deliver long-lasting results and meaningful quality-of-life improvement, helping you return to work, sport, and normal activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is meniscus repair surgery safe?

Yes. Surgery to fix a damaged meniscus is a minimally invasive procedure that seldom results in complications.

Meniscus repair recovery typically takes around two weeks. This can be extended based on factors such as age, underlying health conditions, and your job requirements. A member of our team will advise you at the consultation stage.
