How to Prepare for Meniscectomy?
Meniscectomy is performed either by an open surgery or by an arthroscopic surgery. Arthroscopic surgery is more prevalent; however, an open surgery may be performed if it is difficult to find the torn meniscus or if adhesions are present.
Arthroscopic Meniscectomy
- An arthroscope and a few surgical tools are inserted into the knee joint through tiny incisions.
- An injection is given into the knee to enlarge the joint to provide a better view.
- The knee is thoroughly examined to find the tear and any other injury along the interior curve of the meniscus.
- The damaged portion of the torn meniscus is removed in a partial meniscectomy.
- Tears along the external curve of the meniscus where there is a high amount of blood supply is stitched and repaired.
- Any parts of cartilage that are avascular are also removed.
- The arthroscope and the surgical tools are withdrawn.
- The incision is closed with sutures.
Open Surgery Meniscectomy
- An open incision is made on the knee joint to view and treat the internal structures.
- The torn meniscus is removed and additional damaged structures are repaired.
- The incision is closed with sutures or clips.
How to Prepare for Meniscectomy?
- The patient is given full information about the surgical procedure.
- The patient is physically examined to ensure that the patient is in a good condition to go through the surgery.
- Physical therapy may be started so that the patient’s pain, activity levels, and knee strength are recorded. Accordingly, the patient is required to learn the exercises that need to be done after the surgery. During physical therapy, the patient will also learn how to use crutches or a walker.
- The patient should inform the doctor about any ailments or medical conditions.
- Smoking should be stopped at least a couple of weeks before the surgery to ensure quick healing and a successful result.
