VerifiedCommon questions
What is the difference between meniscus repair and meniscectomy?
A repair stitches the tear so it can heal, preserving the cushion; a meniscectomy trims out the damaged piece. Repair has a longer recovery but keeps more of the meniscus, which is generally better for the long-term health of the knee when repair is possible.
How long does meniscus surgery recovery take?
Recovery after a trim is commonly four to six weeks. Recovery after a repair is longer, commonly three to six months, because the stitched tissue needs time to heal.
Can a meniscus tear heal without surgery?
Some tears, especially small ones or degenerative tears related to arthritis, improve with physical therapy and time. Whether surgery helps depends on the tear type, your symptoms, and your activity goals.
