Best Orthopedic Doctors for Meniscus Tear Surgery in Gurugram, Haryana

Meniscus repair uses sutures to stitch the torn edges back together, preserving full shock-absorbing cushion. Partial meniscectomy trims away only the unstable torn flap when the tear is in an avascular zone where healing cannot occur.

Small, non-displaced tears located in the outer vascular "red-red zone" can heal with rest, bracing, and physical therapy. Complex tears or tears in the inner avascular white zone rarely heal without arthroscopic intervention.

A displaced bucket-handle tear can mechanically jam between the femur and tibia, causing sudden inability to straighten the knee fully (true knee locking). This is an orthopedic urgency requiring prompt arthroscopic reduction and repair.

Following partial meniscectomy, patients bear full weight immediately and recover within 2 to 4 weeks. After meniscus repair, weight-bearing is restricted for 4 to 6 weeks to allow biological healing, with full return to sports at 3 to 4 months.

Specialist consultations on NectarPlus Health range between ₹1,100 – ₹2,000. Arthroscopic meniscus surgery in Gurugram typically costs between ₹50,000 and ₹1,50,000 depending on repair complexity and implants.
