To fix a meniscal tear, arthroscopic surgery is commonly used. This minimally invasive procedure involves making small incisions and using a camera and specialized instruments to repair or remove the damaged meniscus. Depending on the tear's severity, the surgeon may either stitch the torn edges together or remove the damaged portion of the meniscus. Rehabilitation and physical therapy usually follow to restore function and strength.
