Understanding Meniscus Debridement

Arthroscopic meniscus debridement removes the damaged or frayed part of the meniscus to relieve pain, eliminate locking, and restore smooth knee motion.

Why does the Meniscus Debridement deteriorate?

The meniscus deteriorates due to degenerative changes, age-related wear, twisting injuries, or sports trauma. Degenerated tears cannot be repaired because blood supply is poor, making debridement the best option.

How does Meniscus Debridement help?

Debridement trims the torn or loose fragments of the meniscus that cause pain, catching, and swelling. This immediately improves knee movement and reduces mechanical symptoms.
