Partial Meniscectomy

The surgeon begins by creating two portals or small incisions in the front of the knee. The arthroscope is inserted through one portal and a passport cannula is inserted through the other. The meniscal tear is identified and probed. If the tear cannot be repaired, the injured tissue is excised. Arthroscopic biters are introduced and the meniscal flap is trimmed. An arthroscopic shaver is placed inside the knee and debris is removed. The shaver is then used to smooth the edges of the meniscus, leaving behind stable, healthy tissue.
