Nishaben, a 30-year-old homemaker, presented with persistent pain and discomfort in her left knee that had gradually worsened over time. Daily activities such as prolonged standing, walking, and routine household movements became increasingly difficult. Conservative management did not provide sufficient relief, leading to further clinical evaluation.
A thorough clinical examination and MRI evaluation confirmed a medial meniscus tear involving the body and posterior horn of the left knee. The findings were consistent with mechanical symptoms such as pain during weight-bearing and restricted knee movement.
Given the nature of the tear and its impact on daily function, surgical intervention was recommended to preserve the meniscal tissue and restore joint mechanics.
The treatment plan involved arthroscopic medial meniscus repair with extrusion correction, aiming to stabilize the meniscus and support long-term joint health.
The surgical approach focused on precise tissue handling, secure fixation, and preservation of surrounding structures to promote optimal healing and joint function.
The procedure was performed using a minimally invasive arthroscopic technique. The torn meniscal tissue was carefully assessed and repaired using suturing methods designed to provide stable fixation while maintaining tissue integrity.
Throughout the procedure:
The surgical process progressed smoothly, allowing accurate alignment and secure repair of the meniscal tissue.
Following surgery, the patient was advised restricted weight-bearing during the early healing phase and supported with protective bracing. Pain was managed effectively, and gentle range-of-motion exercises were introduced according to protocol.
Follow-up evaluations showed good wound healing and gradual improvement in comfort and mobility.
