Meniscus Repair Surgery in Bangalore

Receive expert diagnosis and advanced meniscus repair from Dr. Paneendra Sudarshan, a trusted orthopaedic surgeon with over 12 years of experience helping patients walk pain-free again.

Regain Strength, Stability & Confidence with Meniscus Repair

Knee injuries don’t always start with a dramatic twist or fall. Sometimes, it’s just a persistent ache after a jog… a sharp pain when standing up… or swelling after climbing stairs. Left untreated, even a small tear in your meniscus can escalate—leading to joint instability, cartilage damage, and long-term pain.

Whether it’s a meniscus bucket handle tear, meniscal rupture, or wear-and-tear over time, you don’t have to live with the discomfort. Meniscus Repair using arthroscopy knee surgery is a minimally invasive way to restore knee health and get back to your life—without the fear of recurring injury or chronic stiffness.

Dr. Paneendra Sudarshan, an experienced orthopaedic surgeon in Bangalore, offers advanced knee surgery options including both Meniscus Repair and Meniscectomy, tailored to your lifestyle and recovery goals. With over 12 years of surgical experience and a patient-first approach, he ensures every treatment is precise, personalized, and built for full recovery.

What is Meniscus Repair?

Meniscus Repair is a surgical procedure designed to treat a torn meniscus—the cushion-like cartilage that absorbs shock between your thighbone and shinbone. When this cartilage is torn due to injury or degeneration, it can lead to locking, swelling, and pain in the joint. Using arthroscopy knee surgery, surgeons can access the joint through small incisions, allowing them to precisely repair or trim the damaged area.

This minimally invasive method offers several benefits over open surgery, including less tissue trauma, faster recovery, and reduced scarring. Depending on the location and type of tear—such as a meniscus bucket handle tear or degenerative split—Dr. Paneendra may recommend suturing the cartilage (repair) or removing the damaged portion (Meniscectomy). Timely knee surgery for torn meniscus not only restores function but also prevents further damage to the joint.

Common Causes of Meniscus Tears

Meniscus injuries aren’t limited to athletes—daily wear and tear can be just as damaging.
Here are the following causes of meniscus problems commonly seen in patients:

Sudden twisting or pivoting during sports or workouts
Aging and cartilage degeneration over time
Falls, squats, or awkward movements of the knee
Previous ligament tear knee surgery increasing stress on the meniscus
Repetitive kneeling or lifting in certain professions

When to See a Knee Specialist

If you’ve been wondering, “Is this knee pain just a strain—or something worse?”, it’s time to consult a specialist in knee surgery to repair meniscus or cartilage injuries. Look out for these warning signs:

Swelling that worsens after walking or exercise
Clicking, popping, or locking sensations in the knee
Pain while squatting or climbing stairs
Inability to fully extend or bend the knee
Persistent discomfort despite rest and medication
Feeling of instability or giving way

Consulting a knee joint specialist or orthopaedic surgeon early can prevent further damage and guide you toward the right treatment plan.

Diagnosis & Treatment Plan

Dr. Paneendra uses a combination of detailed clinical evaluation, physical tests, and imaging tools like MRI to diagnose meniscal rupture and assess the extent of cartilage damage.

Not all meniscus tears require surgery. Small, stable tears may heal with rest, physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes. However, for complex tears or persistent symptoms, arthroscopy knee surgery is often recommended.

Treatment Options:

Non-surgical Management:
Includes physiotherapy, bracing, and guided rehab—ideal for minor tears or early-stage degeneration.
Meniscus Repair Surgery (Arthroscopic):
Through tiny incisions, the torn cartilage is sutured to allow natural healing. This method is ideal for younger patients or tears in vascular areas of the meniscus.
Meniscectomy (Partial Meniscus Removal):
When repair isn’t possible, the damaged portion of the meniscus is removed while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.

Post-surgery, patients typically begin weight-bearing within days and start physiotherapy shortly after. Recovery time for surgery on torn meniscus varies by procedure—but most return to light activities in 3–6 weeks, and full activity within 2–3 months.
