Watch a Knee Surgeon Treat a Meniscal Tear

When you tear your meniscus, what’s happening on the inside of the knee? And how do you treat it?
Here, Dave Duffy, specialist knee surgeon with Yorkshire Knee Clinic gives a fascinating look inside the knee during a meniscus procedure.
𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗵: This video features footage from an operation.
You will see:
• The off-white cartilages on the tibia and femur, and the meniscus itself
• The cutting of a torn piece of the meniscus and the shaving of loose pieces of meniscus
You won’t see:
• Blood (because the meniscus doesn’t have its own blood supply)

A little rest and ibuprofen and I was good to go. I can't recommend getting this procedure highly enough. I was able to continue karate through my 3rd degree black belt.

[@Mochi-lf5rz]

How easily he breaks that apart and makes tiny strings come out of it just sends chills, legit feels like if i just hit something tiny it will break or those strings will come out slowly over time ;-;

[@ashleyrobinson9373]

Well it's fine because it's between the strongest parts of your femur and your tibia, making it practically impossible to break with anything that can't get through the surface

Take the chance to dissect something if you ever get the opportunity. One of the most interesting revelations is that people tend to think of nerves as small and not readily apparent to the naked eye, but they can actually be as big or even bigger than your blood vessels.

Surprising how a little bit of "fluff" can hurt so much. I had my surgery at the TOSH Center in Utah.

[@dangeroreilly2028]

Yes, I've had 3 repairs on my left knee, the third one, when I was about 40, took the last of the remaining bit of meniscus. One procedure on my right knee, damaged cartilage removed. It's still pretty good. Now at 60, I get a steroid shot about every 6 months and that really helps the freedom of movement and reduces the pain.

[@nepstruesom5100]

[@kyzor-sosay6087]

I had 7 scopes on my right knee,5 on my left,when I turned 54,had both knees replaced at the same time,absolutely the best thing I have ever done in my life, I had an excellent surgeon.The key to any procedure is making damn sure you choose a great doctor.

[@chucknapier5108]

I received a double miniscus repair five and a half weeks ago. Not the same yet. One knee had half the miniscus removed, the other cleaned up. Unbelievable pain built up to needing the operation and difficulty walking, bending, anything honestly. Now, pain is much less. Built up to walking short distances. I can perform a variety of jobs at home with great care and rest. I followed the doctors instructions, do all I can at home. Now, back in physical therapy and I'm told I should have been resting much more than the efforts I've been putting out. Not ready to return to work yet. Swollen legs, that may continue for close to a year possibly. Have a variety of problems with my legs, knees and feet and hopefully all these will be worked out soon.
