Meniscus repair vs. meniscus removal—what’s the difference? 🦵 Meniscus removal (meniscectomy): Like trimming a hangnail. Smooths out the edges. High success rate, faster recovery. 🦵 Meniscus repair: Done in the “red-red zone” (where blood supply is strong). Requires sutures, protected weight-bearing, and longer recovery—but preserves the meniscus for long-term knee health. Knowing which option is right depends on the type and location of the tear. #MeniscusRepair #Meniscectomy #KneeSurgery #Or
