Meniscal repair is usually performed by arthroscopic meniscal suture and meniscal transplantation.

1. Arthroscopic meniscal suture

is a common method of repairing meniscal damage. During surgery, the doctor will suture the torn part of the meniscus arthroscopically. This method is suitable for cases where the meniscus damage is small and the edge is intact.

2. Meniscal

transplantation may be performed for severe meniscal damage, especially if the meniscus cannot be repaired. This surgery is usually performed on young, active patients, or those whose symptoms are still severe after other treatments. In

addition, there are some complementary treatments, such as physical therapy and medical treatment, which can help relieve symptoms and promote recovery. However, the specific treatment method should be determined according to the specific situation of the patient and the doctor's recommendation.
