  • Dr. Christopher N. Walton says

    FAQ: What's the difference between a meniscus repair vs a meniscus removal? Ans: The news media tends to call all meniscus surgery: Repairs. In fact, most meniscus surgeries are removals of the torn area(s) of the meniscus cartilage. This is generally done arthroscopically. The purpose is to remove the part that is catching and causing pain. When the meniscus is torn at its outside edge, it may be repairable, but this is possible for only about 10% of these injuries.
