What happens after partial meniscectomy?



After the meniscus is partially removed, the function of the knee will not be affected too much, and the symptoms of interlocking, jamming, and tenderness of the knee will be improved.

The meniscus is an important part of the knee joint and plays an important role in cushioning shock and stabilizing the knee joint. Meniscus injury often causes pain, locking and tenderness of the knee joint, which in turn causes impaired knee movement.

Meniscus injuries are often repaired by meniscal suture or partial meniscectomy. Partial meniscectomy is to remove the damaged part of the meniscus and trim and shape the remaining part, so as to preserve the function of the meniscus as much as possible, reduce the wear and tear of the articular cartilage, and restore the normal function of the knee joint.

After partial meniscectomy, it is important to follow the doctor’s requirements and carry out rehabilitation exercises in a gradual manner, do not do it on your own to avoid delaying the condition.
