Meniscus repair is a surgical procedure to fix torn cartilages in the knee joint. The meniscus acts as a shock absorber and stabilizer, so damage can lead to pain, swelling, and instability. Surgeons use sutures, staples or meniscal tissue grafts to reattach the torn pieces back together. Post-surgery recovery includes rest, ice, compression, and elevation for several weeks.
