Knee Arthroscopy, Meniscectomy

Knee Arthroscopy, Meniscectomy is available through SUNY Downstate's Transparent Access Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Knee arthroscopy, meniscectomy is a surgical procedure that is commonly used to address meniscal tears in the knee. The meniscus is a piece of C-shaped cartilage that acts as a cushion between the shinbone and the thighbone. Meniscal tears are a common injury, especially among athletes and older adults. During the procedure, an orthopedic surgeon makes small incisions in the knee to insert a camera and other tools to remove the torn part of the meniscus. This can help to reduce pain, restore range of motion, and prevent further damage. The knee arthroscopy, meniscectomy procedure is typically performed as an outpatient procedure and is considered relatively safe, although there are some risks involved.
