Meniscus Repair at Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic, Dubai Marina

The meniscus is a C-shaped cartilage in the knee. It absorbs shock, stabilizes the joint, and distributes weight. However, high-impact activities or aging can cause injuries, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness. Therefore, early diagnosis helps prevent complications.

Meniscus injuries happen due to sudden trauma or gradual wear. For example, sports like football, skiing, and running often cause tears. Additionally, aging or repetitive strain weakens the meniscus over time. Identifying the cause is essential for choosing the right treatment.

• Meniscus Irritation & Contusions – Minor injuries from strain or impact, which usually heal with conservative care.
• Meniscus Lesions – General damage to the meniscus, ranging from mild to severe.
• Meniscus Ruptures (Torn Meniscus) – A complete or partial tear that requires medical attention to prevent joint instability.

• Sudden Twisting or Pivoting – This is common in sports like basketball, tennis, and football.
• Aging and Degeneration – Over time, the meniscus loses elasticity, making it more prone to tears.
• Overuse & Repetitive Motion – Frequent squatting, kneeling, or lifting gradually weakens the meniscus.
• Direct Trauma – A direct hit to the knee, often from accidents or contact sports, can cause damage.

• Sharp knee pain, especially when twisting or bending.
• Swelling and stiffness around the knee.
• Difficulty straightening the leg.
• Clicking or popping sounds when moving the knee.
• Knee instability, making movement difficult.

At Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic in JBR, Dubai Marina, we offer expert meniscus treatments. The right approach depends on factors such as the severity of the tear, activity level, and overall knee health.

• Pain Management – Anti-inflammatory medications ease pain and swelling.
• Physical Therapy – Strengthening exercises improve knee stability and function.
• Rest & Ice Therapy – Reducing strain and applying ice helps speed up recovery.
• Bracing or Supportive Devices – These provide stability and reduce stress on the knee.

For severe cases, minimally invasive surgery may be required. Our specialists use advanced arthroscopic techniques, ensuring a faster recovery. Surgical options include:

• Partial Meniscectomy (Meniscus Trimming) – Removing the damaged part while preserving healthy tissue.
• Meniscus Repair (Meniscus Suturing) – Stitching the torn meniscus to allow natural healing. This option works best for younger, active individuals.
