Partial Meniscectomy

A partial meniscectomy is a procedure that removes the patient's torn meniscus.

A meniscectomy is performed by having a surgeon make 2-3 poke holes into the knee. A camera is inserted to view the damaged area. The surgeon will then remove the torn and damaged meniscus. After the surgery, excess fluid is drained and each small hole is closed with a single stitch.
