When you have a torn meniscus in your knee, a meniscectomy may be recommended if you have symptoms of discomfort. Meniscectomy is an arthroscopic surgical procedure performed through small incisions with the aid of a small camera inserted into the joint.
A meniscus can be torn by a sports injury, but it also can be torn just by usual movement and some degeneration of the cartilage, particularly in those over age 50. Most tears get better with conservative measures, including physical therapy and anti-inflammatory medications, and only a minority require surgery.
