Diagnosis:

Injury to the Medial Meniscus (MM) of the Left Knee Joint

• Medial Meniscus Injury:
  • Damage to the cartilage structure inside the knee joint, which serves as a shock absorber and stabilizer.
  • Often caused by trauma or degenerative changes.
• Types of Damage:
  • Partial or complete tear.
  • Mechanical damage leading to pain and restricted joint movement.

Clinical Solution:

Meniscectomy (Meniscus Resection):

• Procedure:
  • A minimally invasive surgical intervention to partially or completely remove the damaged portion of the medial meniscus.
  • Performed using an arthroscope, requiring only small incisions.
• Goals of the Procedure:
  • Eliminate pain caused by the damaged meniscus.
  • Resolve mechanical issues, such as joint locking or restricted movement.
  • Restore knee joint function and mobility.
