Damage to meniscus cartilage can result in the loss of range of movement in the knee and pain resulting from use. The London Cartilage Clinic offers meniscus tear repair treatments to ensure our patients can return to their usual activities and live life to the fullest. We believe no one should be in pain when it can be easily relieved with modern medicine.

Why might you need meniscus repair?

Meniscus repair can involve a range of surgical options to treat meniscus tears effectively. Whatever the severity, this type of injury can negatively affect quality of life by limiting movement and making day-to-day tasks harder.

It is especially problematic for people who are regularly active. Untreated meniscus tears can also contribute to the progression of knee osteoarthritis, which repair may help delay.
