Arthroscopic meniscus surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to repair or remove damaged tissue in the knee joint. During the surgery, a small camera called an arthroscope is inserted through tiny incisions, allowing the surgeon to visualize and treat the problem without the need for a large incision.
This procedure is commonly used to treat meniscus tears, which can occur due to injury or degenerative conditions. The surgeon may either repair the torn meniscus using sutures or remove the damaged portion of the meniscus, depending on the type and severity of the tear.
Benefits of arthroscopic meniscus surgery include shorter recovery times, reduced post-operative pain, and lower risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery. Patients typically undergo physical therapy following the procedure to regain strength and range of motion in the knee.

How common is total knee ligament replacement surgery?
There are 5 main types of knee replacement surgery: Total knee replacement. This is the most common form. Your surgeon replaces the surfaces of the thigh bone and shin bone that connects to the knee. Partial knee replacement. If arthritis affects only one side of your knee, this surgery may be a possibility. However, it’s only right for you if you have strong knee ligaments and the rest of the cartilage in the knee is normal. Partial knee replacement can be performed through a smaller cut than is needed for total knee replacement. Patellofemoral replacement. This replaces only the under-surface of the kneecap and the groove the kneecap sits in. This can be very effective for people with chronic kneecap arthritis. Complex (or revision) knee replacement. This procedure may be needed if you have very severe arthritis or if you’ve already had two or three knee replacement surgeries. Cartilage restoration: Sometimes when the knee only has an isolated area of injury or wear this area can be replaced with a living cartilage graft or cells which grow into cartilage.
