Arthroscopic Meniscus Repair is a minimally invasive procedure performed by Dr. Manu Gautam to treat painful meniscus tears in the knee joint. The meniscus is a C-shaped cartilage that cushions the knee and supports stability. When torn, it often causes swelling, stiffness, and discomfort during movement.
During surgery, Dr. Gautam makes small incisions around the knee and inserts an arthroscope, a tiny camera that clearly projects the joint on a screen. This advanced tool allows him to examine the damage without creating a large cut. After identifying the tear, he uses specialized instruments to trim rough edges and suture the tissue back together. As a result, the repaired meniscus regains its strength and function.

Compared with open surgery, arthroscopic meniscus repair offers many advantages. Patients usually experience less pain, smaller scars, and quicker healing. In addition, the procedure reduces the risk of complications and helps preserve more healthy cartilage, which is essential for long-term knee health.
Recovery plays a key role in overall success. Most individuals walk with support shortly after surgery, and light daily activities resume within a few weeks. However, sports and heavy exercise may require a longer healing period. To speed recovery, Dr. Gautam often recommends a structured physical therapy plan. This approach improves flexibility, restores muscle strength, and prevents stiffness.
Dr. Manu Gautam is known for his expertise in arthroscopic knee surgery and patient-focused care. He carefully evaluates each case, explains treatment choices, and guides patients through every stage of recovery. With his experience and modern techniques, many patients return to their active lifestyles with reduced pain and improved mobility.
If you suffer from persistent knee pain or have been diagnosed with a meniscus tear, consulting Dr. Gautam can help you explore whether arthroscopic repair is the right solution.
