Knee injuries can feel life-altering. Whether it’s trouble walking, sharp pain when bending, or the feeling that your knee might “give way,” these symptoms can be incredibly frustrating. One common cause behind these issues is a meniscus tear—a condition that affects people of all ages, from athletes to office workers.
If you’ve been told you need surgery, it’s normal to feel nervous. However, not all knee surgeries are major operations. At Dr. Rami Hamed Center (DRHC) in Dubai, we offer arthroscopic meniscus repair—a minimally invasive technique designed to ease your symptoms and speed up recovery.
Your knee contains two menisci, C-shaped cushions of cartilage that act as shock absorbers between the thigh bone and shin bone. A tear can occur due to injury, aging, or repetitive stress.
Arthroscopic meniscus repair is a surgical procedure that uses tiny incisions and a small camera (arthroscope) to locate and stitch the torn meniscus back together, helping it heal naturally.
Unlike traditional open surgery, arthroscopy:
This technique is commonly performed at DRHC Dubai, where our orthopedic surgeons focus on preserving as much of your natural knee cartilage as possible.
Not all tears are treated the same way. In some cases, only the damaged portion of the meniscus is removed (meniscectomy). However, preserving the meniscus with arthroscopic repair has long-term benefits, especially for younger or active patients.
Benefits of arthroscopic meniscus repair:
At DRHC Dubai, your care team will carefully evaluate the tear’s location, size, and activity level to decide whether repair is the best option.
You’ll be under anesthesia during the surgery, so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. Post-surgery discomfort is typically mild and well-managed with medications. Most patients are surprised at how quickly they can move around afterward.
Healing varies by patient, but here’s a general timeline:
At DRHC Dubai, we design a personalized recovery plan and work closely with our in-house physiotherapy team to ensure optimal healing.
As with any surgery, there are some risks—including infection, stiffness, or re-tear. However, arthroscopic techniques significantly reduce these risks. Our specialists use state-of-the-art technology and sterile protocols to keep you safe.
