Non-Surgical Treatments

Start With the Least-Invasive Options

Most patients improve without surgery. Our team takes a conservative-first approach with treatments designed to reduce pain, improve strength, and prevent future flare-ups.

Non-Surgical Knee Treatments

  • Physical Therapy Our specialized knee rehabilitation programs focus on strengthening the muscles around your knee joint to improve stability and reduce pain. Many patients with minor meniscus tears experience significant improvement through targeted exercises and manual therapy techniques.
    • Quadriceps and hamstring strengthening
    • Range of motion restoration
  • Anti-Inflammatory Medications Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can effectively reduce pain and swelling associated with meniscus tears. Our physicians will recommend the appropriate medication and dosage based on your specific condition and medical history.
    • Oral NSAIDs for systemic relief
    • Topical anti-inflammatory gels
  • Corticosteroid Injections For patients experiencing persistent pain and inflammation, targeted steroid injections can provide significant relief. These injections are performed using ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance to ensure precise placement and optimal results.
    • Ultrasound-guided intra-articular injections
    • Long-acting corticosteroid formulations
  • Activity Modification and Bracing Temporary activity modifications combined with supportive bracing can allow minor meniscus tears to heal naturally. Our team will guide you through appropriate activity levels and recommend the best bracing options for your lifestyle.
    • Functional knee braces for support
    • Gradual return to activity protocols
  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy This innovative treatment uses your body's own healing factors to promote tissue repair. PRP injections have shown promising results in treating meniscus tears, particularly in younger patients with good healing potential.
    • Autologous growth factor therapy
    • Enhanced healing response

Studies show that up to 70% of patients with minor meniscus tears experience significant pain relief and improved function with conservative treatment within 8-12 weeks.

Surgical Options

If Surgery is Right for You

Procedures are determined after evaluation—this list is for education only.
Meniscus Repair / Meniscectomy

Watch how our orthopedic surgeons perform minimally invasive arthroscopic meniscus repair using advanced techniques.

Surgical Knee Procedures

  • Arthroscopic Meniscus Repair For tears in the outer portion of the meniscus where blood supply is adequate, our surgeons can often repair the torn tissue using minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques. This procedure preserves your natural meniscus and provides the best long-term outcomes for knee health.
  • Partial Meniscectomy When meniscus tears occur in areas with poor blood supply that cannot heal naturally, our surgeons perform arthroscopic removal of only the damaged tissue. This minimally invasive procedure relieves pain while preserving as much healthy meniscus as possible.
  • Total Meniscectomy In cases of extensive meniscus damage that cannot be repaired, complete removal may be necessary. Our experienced surgeons use advanced arthroscopic techniques to minimize tissue trauma and optimize recovery time.
  • Meniscus Transplantation For younger patients who have undergone previous meniscectomy and developed knee pain, meniscus transplantation using donor tissue may be an option. This complex procedure is performed by our fellowship-trained specialists to restore knee function and prevent future arthritis.

Over 85% of our patients undergoing arthroscopic meniscus procedures return to their pre-injury activity levels within 3-4 months.
