Overview
Meniscus repair preserves the meniscal cartilage by stitching the tear rather than removing tissue.

Indications
Tears in the vascular “red” zone, especially in younger or active patients.

Procedure overview
Arthroscopic repair using sutures or anchors.

Recovery
Protected weight‑bearing and limited motion initially, with gradual rehabilitation. Return to sport is slower than meniscectomy.

Risks and complications
Failure of repair, stiffness, infection.

Alternatives
Partial meniscectomy for non‑repairable tears.
