Meniscectomy

Knee meniscectomy is the most common surgical procedure performed on the knee.  A meniscus tear can occur as an acute injury or through degeneration.  Patients usually experience pain with weight-bearing, squatting, and twisting.   Meniscectomy is performed as a minimally invasive surgery using knee arthroscopy.  The meniscus is trimmed and smoothed with small instruments through 2 small stab incisions in the knee.  Patients usually recover quickly and completely.

Dr. Bushnell has advanced training in arthroscopic treatment of knee injuries.
