Why might you need partial meniscus surgery?

A meniscectomy partial operation can be used to treat minor meniscal tears. Even a small tear in meniscus cartilage can cause significant problems as the meniscus serves a vital role as joint shock absorber. In the long term, meniscus damage can also lead to the development of early arthritis. As such, this treatment option can be highly beneficial especially for younger people who suffer a full or partial meniscus tear.
