Overview

What is Meniscus Debridement?

Meniscus debridement, also known as partial meniscectomy, is a minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure performed to remove the damaged or torn portion of the meniscus while preserving as much healthy cartilage as possible. The meniscus plays a crucial role in shock absorption and joint stability, but certain tears cannot be repaired due to poor blood supply.

In cases where the tear is located in the avascular (white-white) zone or is severely fragmented, trimming the damaged portion helps eliminate pain, improve mobility, and prevent mechanical symptoms such as locking or catching of the knee.

Dr. Hemendra Agrawal performs arthroscopic meniscus debridement using high-definition visualization and precision instruments through small keyhole incisions. This ensures minimal tissue damage, faster recovery, and excellent functional outcomes.

The procedure is typically done under spinal or general anesthesia and is often performed as a daycare surgery, allowing patients to return home the same day.
