Is removing meniscus bad?
No need to miss out on an active life. Don't give up on your knee. Even if you had your meniscus cartilage removed and no longer have the shock absorber in your knee; even if you have developed osteoarthritis and can barely walk without pain, there is still a chance that your knee can be restored.
When do you need a meniscectomy?
A meniscectomy is typically performed when you have a torn meniscus, which is a common knee injury. About 66 out of every 100,000 people tear a meniscus per year. The goal of the surgery is to remove fragments of the meniscus that stick out into the joint.
