The meniscus performs an essential function in the human body in allowing the knee joint to absorb impacts. 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 consist of a range of surgical options for effective treatment of a meniscus tear injury. Whatever the severity, this injury can negatively impact quality of life as it hinders movement and prevents the individual from completing certain tasks and activities. It is especially problematic for those who enjoy being active and doing exercise on a regular basis. Meniscus tears that go untreated can also contribute to the progression of knee osteoarthritis, which repair can delay.
