How Partial Meniscectomy/Meniscoplasty is performed
This procedure aims to remove unstable fragments and smooth the edges, while preserving stable meniscal tissue. Typically, the compartments are explored under arthroscopy, shaped with a motorized shaver and irrigation system, and radiofrequency is combined if necessary to smooth the soft tissue, avoiding excessive resection. Postoperatively, monitor pain, swelling, and range of motion, and sequentially implement strength and gait training, aiming to relieve mechanical symptoms and restore daily function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific treatment should be based on specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
