Effect of a Partial Meniscectomy on Articular Cartilage
A partial meniscectomy is a surgical procedure in which the damaged portion of the meniscus is removed to relieve knee pain and improve function. While this procedure can provide short-term relief.
Our services
Effect of a Partial Meniscectomy on Articular Cartilage

Comprehensive Knee Evaluation
We perform detailed clinical assessment and advanced imaging to evaluate cartilage condition and joint stability before and after partial meniscectomy, ensuring accurate diagnosis and structured long-term joint monitoring.

Altered Joint Mechanics
Removal of damaged meniscal tissue can change load distribution within the knee, increasing stress on articular cartilage and potentially accelerating wear if preventive measures are not properly followed.

Risk of Cartilage Degeneration
Although partial meniscectomy relieves pain, long-term cartilage thinning and early osteoarthritis may develop without proper rehabilitation, strengthening programs, and careful activity modification.

Cartilage Preservation Approach
Our treatment focuses on protecting joint surfaces through muscle strengthening, weight control, movement correction, and guided recovery plans that minimize excess cartilage stress.

Precision Arthroscopic Technique
We use minimally invasive surgical methods that preserve maximum meniscal tissue, helping maintain natural shock absorption and supporting long-term cartilage protection.

Structured Rehabilitation Program
Personalized rehabilitation restores knee strength, improves alignment, and reduces abnormal joint loading, promoting safer recovery and sustained cartilage health over time.

1. What is articular cartilage in the knee?
Articular cartilage is the smooth, protective tissue that covers the ends of bones inside the knee joint. It allows smooth movement, reduces friction, and absorbs shock during walking, running, and daily activities.
2. Can damaged knee cartilage heal on its own?
Cartilage has limited natural healing ability because it does not have a direct blood supply. Small injuries may improve with rest and rehabilitation, but significant damage often requires medical treatment or surgical intervention.
3. What are the symptoms of cartilage damage in the knee?
Common symptoms include knee pain, swelling, stiffness, clicking sensations, locking of the joint, and difficulty bearing weight during movement or sports activities.
4. What treatments help protect or restore knee cartilage?
Treatment options include physiotherapy, activity modification, weight management, injections, and advanced procedures such as cartilage repair or restoration surgery, depending on the severity of the damage.
