Meniscal Surgery
At London Knee Care, meniscal surgery is performed to repair or remove torn cartilage that causes pain, swelling, and restricted movement in the knee. The meniscus acts as a cushion between the thighbone and shinbone, and when damaged, it can affect joint stability and comfort. Using advanced keyhole (arthroscopic) techniques, our surgeons restore smooth movement, reduce discomfort, and help patients return to normal activity with long-term knee health.
About Meniscal Surgery
At London Knee Care, we specialise in meniscal surgery to repair or remove torn cartilage in the knee. The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage that cushions and stabilises the knee joint. When torn through injury or wear and tear, it can cause pain, swelling, and restricted movement.
Our expert knee surgeon, Mr Raghbir Khakha, restores smooth movement, reduces discomfort, and helps patients return to normal activity with long-term knee health.

When Is Meniscal Surgery Required?
Meniscal surgery is recommended when a tear leads to persistent pain, swelling, or instability that does not improve with physiotherapy or rest. Patients may notice locking or catching sensations in the knee, ongoing swelling after activity, sharp or localised pain during movement, or a limited range of motion.
At London Knee Care, every patient undergoes a detailed clinical examination and MRI scan to assess the injury and determine whether meniscal repair or partial meniscectomy offers the most effective and lasting solution.
