Knee
Meniscus & Cartilage Repair
Joint-preserving arthroscopic surgery to save the meniscus and treat cartilage damage.
Overview
The meniscus and cartilage are essential shock absorbers of the knee. Where possible, Dr. Tomar's philosophy is to repair rather than remove — preserving joint biology, protecting against future arthritis and keeping active patients moving.
When it's recommended
- Symptomatic meniscus tear
- Locked knee
- Focal cartilage defects
- Osteochondral lesions
Key benefits
- Preservation of joint biology
- Reduced future arthritis risk
- Rapid recovery vs replacement
- Return to sport
Surgical approach
- Arthroscopic assessment
- Meniscus repair or selective trimming
- Cartilage repair techniques (microfracture, OATS)
Recovery timeline
- Discharge same day or next day
- Protected weight-bearing for repairs
- Return to sport in 4–6 months
