meniscus surgery
Cartilage repair procedure
Meniscus surgery is a medical procedure to repair or remove damaged cartilage in the knee.
The meniscus is a C-shaped pad of tissue that cushions the joint between the thighbone and shinbone.
When torn—often from sports injuries or age-related wear—surgery may trim the damaged portion or stitch it back together: She's recovering from meniscus surgery after twisting her knee on the ski slope.
