About the Procedure
What is Meniscus Repair and Meniscectomy?
Meniscus repair and meniscectomy are arthroscopic (keyhole) surgical procedures used to treat tears in the C-shaped cartilage cushions of the knee. Meniscectomy involves trimming away the damaged portion of the meniscus, while meniscus repair involves suturing the torn edges together to preserve as much of the natural cartilage as possible. The choice between the two depends on tear location, pattern, chronicity, and patient age/activity level, and both aim to relieve pain, restore knee stability, and prevent early arthritis.
Who may be considered?
Meniscus Repair and Meniscectomy may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
A minimally invasive procedure where the torn, unstable portion of the meniscus is trimmed and smoothed using small instruments inserted through tiny incisions, preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
2 approaches available for this procedure:
Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy
Most PopularA minimally invasive procedure where the torn, unstable portion of the meniscus is trimmed and smoothed using small instruments inserted through tiny incisions, preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $150 - $500
Knee MRI, X-ray (weight-bearing views), blood tests (CBC, coagulation profile), ECG, physician fitness clearance
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $3,000 - $4,500
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1 day
Hospitalisation: ~1-2 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~10-14 days recommended
Total stay: approx 12-16 days
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Pre-op consultation and anesthesia review
- Arthroscopic surgery with surgeon and anesthetist fees
- Standard hospital room stay
- Post-op physiotherapy session(s)
- Follow-up consultation before discharge
Usually Not Included
- International/domestic flights
- Hotel accommodation for extended stay
- Post-discharge physiotherapy course
- Knee brace or mobility aids
- Visa and travel insurance
Recovery and follow-up
Meniscectomy patients typically resume light daily activities within 1-2 weeks and full activity within 4-6 weeks, while meniscus repair requires a more gradual, protected rehabilitation over 4-6 months to allow proper healing of the sutured tissue. A structured physiotherapy program and follow-up imaging are recommended to track healing progress.
Risks
As with any knee arthroscopy, potential risks include infection, blood clots (DVT), stiffness, nerve or blood vessel injury, and, in repair cases, failure of the sutured meniscus to heal requiring further surgery. Overall complication rates are low when performed by experienced arthroscopic surgeons.
Alternatives
Non-surgical options such as physiotherapy, activity modification, anti-inflammatory medications, and corticosteroid or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections may be tried first for small, stable tears or degenerative changes, while advanced arthritis unrelated to the meniscus may require joint preservation or replacement procedures instead.
What we need to prepare a formal estimate
Share whatever you have — the care team will confirm the final checklist after reviewing your case.
Reports required
- Recent knee MRI report (within 3-6 months)
- Knee X-rays (AP and lateral, weight-bearing if possible)
- Detailed history of knee injury/onset of symptoms
- Prior treatment records (physiotherapy, injections, previous surgery)
- Blood test reports (CBC, blood sugar, coagulation profile)
- ECG report (if age above 40 or cardiac history)
- List of current medications and allergies
- Any prior orthopedic surgeon's consultation notes
Patient information needed
- Age and body weight/BMI
- Activity level and occupation (e.g., athlete, manual labor)
- Which knee is affected and duration of symptoms
- History of locking, catching, or giving-way sensations in the knee
- Any co-existing conditions (diabetes, hypertension, cardiac disease)
- Previous knee surgeries or injections
- Smoking or alcohol use history
- Preferred travel dates and companion/attendant details

Common questions
FAQs about Meniscus Repair and Meniscectomy in India
What is Meniscus Tears?
A meniscus tear is a break or split in one of the two crescent-shaped cartilage structures inside the knee joint. Tears range from small, stable fraying at the edge of the cartilage to large, complex ruptures that affect the deeper body of the meniscus and can compromise knee function.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Meniscus Tears?
Common symptoms include pain along the inner or outer line of the knee, swelling that develops within hours to days of an injury, a sensation of clicking, locking, or the knee 'giving way,' and difficulty fully straightening or bending the leg. In degenerative tears — which often develop gradually in adults over 40 — symptoms may be milder and intermittent, sometimes mimicking other knee conditions. Because these symptoms overlap with ligament injuries, bursitis, and early arthritis, they are not sufficient on their own to establish a diagnosis.
How is Meniscus Tears diagnosed?
A qualified clinician — typically an orthopaedic surgeon or sports medicine physician — will conduct a structured physical examination using tests such as the McMurray test, Thessaly test, or Apley grind test to assess joint-line tenderness and mechanical symptoms. MRI is the standard imaging investigation, as it can visualise the location, pattern, and severity of the tear without exposing the patient to radiation; tears are commonly described by their shape (horizontal, vertical, radial, bucket-handle, complex) and their position within the meniscus (posterior horn, body, or anterior horn). In some cases, diagnostic arthroscopy may be used when imaging findings are inconclusive and symptoms remain significant.
How is Meniscus Tears treated?
Treatment depends on the type, size, and location of the tear, as well as the patient's age, activity demands, and the condition of the surrounding cartilage and ligaments. Stable, degenerative, or partial tears — particularly in older or less active individuals — are often managed successfully without surgery through a structured programme of rehabilitation and pain control. When a tear is large, causes mechanical symptoms such as locking, or fails to respond to conservative care, procedural options including arthroscopic meniscus repair (which preserves the meniscus) or partial meniscectomy (removal of the damaged portion) may be recommended by the treating clinician.
Can Meniscus Tears be treated without a procedure?
Non-surgical management is a well-established and often first-line approach for many meniscus tears, particularly degenerative tears or those that are small and stable. It typically includes a structured physiotherapy programme to strengthen the quadriceps and hamstring muscles, reduce joint load, and restore range of motion, alongside short-term use of anti-inflammatory medications, activity modification, and in some cases corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation. Whether non-surgical management is appropriate in a given case depends on individual clinical assessment, and not all tear patterns or patient profiles respond equally well to this pathway.
When is Meniscus Repair and Meniscectomy considered for Meniscus Tears?
Meniscus Repair and Meniscectomy may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Meniscus Tears?
Meniscus tears are typically evaluated and managed by an orthopaedic surgeon, particularly one with subspecialty training or focused practice in knee surgery or sports medicine. A sports medicine physician may also be involved, especially in the early assessment phase or when non-surgical management is being pursued.
How do I choose a doctor for Meniscus Tears?
When selecting a clinician for a meniscus tear, it is worth asking about their specific experience with knee arthroscopy and meniscal preservation techniques, as outcomes can vary depending on surgical volume and technical approach. It is also advisable to confirm that the treating facility offers access to physiotherapy and structured rehabilitation support, since recovery — whether surgical or non-surgical — depends heavily on post-treatment follow-up care.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
