Meniscus Repair/ Meniscal Tear Yonkers, New York

If you play any type of sports or engage in physical activity on a regular basis, you may have experienced a meniscal tear or degeneration of the meniscus. Oftentimes, surgery is the only means of rehabilitating your knee, the only way you can become fully mobile again. Surgeons at the Lawrence Hospital Center in Yonkers, New York are skilled in the performing meniscus repair due to both sports injuries and wear-and-tear of middle age.

The meniscus is made up of lateral and medial portions of cartilage that allow the knee to bend and move smoothly. The meniscus dissipates friction so that the lower part of the femur and upper part of the tibia don't grind against each other, as you use your knee. The meniscus is a relatively small part of your anatomy, but its importance is vast. A tear of the meniscus can only be repaired with surgery, and it is quite a delicate operation. You need extremely skilled surgeons so that your post-operative prognosis is the best it can possibly be.
