The meniscus helps the knee absorb pressure and retain stability by acting as a cushion between the thigh and shin bones. Pain, oedema, stiffness, and limited movement can result from damage to this cartilage caused by sports injuries, accidents, ageing, or abrupt twisting motions. With fewer incisions, less discomfort, and a quicker recovery than with open surgery, this minimally invasive method helps many patients regain knee function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Lux Hospitals, experienced orthopaedic specialists use advanced diagnostic methods and modern surgical techniques to provide personalised treatment plans based on each patient\u2019s knee condition, age, activity level, and overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n  <div class=\"lux-alert-banner\">\n    <div class=\"lux-alert-text\">\n      <div class=\"lux-alert-title\">Get Expert Meniscus Tear Treatment <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"lux-alert-cta\">\n      <!-- Mobile: Call with phone icon -->\n      <a href=\"tel:07969084422\" class=\"lux-alert-call\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxhospitals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/phone-icon.webp\" class=\"lux-alert-phone-icon\" alt=\"Call\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" \/>\n        <span>Schedule Your Orthopaedic Evaluation<\/span>\n      <\/a>\n      <!-- Desktop: Trigger Care Console -->\n      <a href=\"#\"\n         class=\"lux-alert-desk\"\n         onclick=\"(function(e){\n           e.preventDefault();\n           var el = document.querySelector('.triger-carecansole');\n           if(el){ el.click(); }\n         })(event);\">\n         Schedule Your Orthopaedic Evaluation\n      <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <style>\n      @keyframes lux-shimmer{\n        0%   { transform:translateX(-150%) rotate(15deg); }\n        60%  { transform:translateX(250%)  rotate(15deg); }\n        100% { transform:translateX(250%)  rotate(15deg); }\n      }\n      .lux-alert-banner{\n        display:flex;\n        align-items:center;\n        justify-content:space-between;\n        flex-wrap:wrap;\n        gap:20px;\n        background:#915097;\n        border-left:6px solid #FCB657;\n        border-radius:8px;\n        padding:20px 24px;\n        margin-bottom:20px;\n        box-sizing:border-box;\n\t\tflex-direction: column;\n      }\n      .lux-alert-text{flex:1 1 auto;min-width:0;}\n      .lux-alert-title{\n        color:#ffffff;\n        font-size:24px;\n        font-weight:700;\n        line-height:1.3;\n      }\n      .lux-alert-cta{flex:0 0 auto;}\n      .lux-alert-call,\n      .lux-alert-desk{\n        position:relative;\n        overflow:hidden;\n        background:#FCB657;\n        color:#ffffff;\n        text-decoration:none;\n        font-size:16px;\n        font-weight:600;\n        padding:10px 20px;\n        border-radius:26px;\n        cursor:pointer;\n        white-space:nowrap;\n        align-items:center;\n        justify-content:center;\n        gap:8px;\n        transition:background 0.25s ease;\n      }\n      \/* Continuous shimmer sweep *\/\n      .lux-alert-call::after,\n      .lux-alert-desk::after{\n        content:'';\n        position:absolute;\n        top:-50%;\n        left:0;\n        width:40%;\n        height:200%;\n        background:linear-gradient(\n          90deg,\n          transparent,\n          rgba(255,255,255,0.45),\n          transparent\n        );\n        transform:translateX(-150%) rotate(15deg);\n        animation:lux-shimmer 3s ease-in-out infinite;\n        pointer-events:none;\n      }\n      .lux-alert-call{display:inline-flex;}\n      .lux-alert-desk{display:none;}\n      .lux-alert-phone-icon{\n        width:18px;\n        height:18px;\n        flex-shrink:0;\n        vertical-align:middle;\n        position:relative;\n        z-index:1;\n      }\n      .lux-alert-call span,\n      .lux-alert-desk{\n        position:relative;\n      }\n      .lux-alert-call:hover,\n      .lux-alert-desk:hover{\n        background:#e69c37;\n        color:#ffffff;\n      }\n      \/* Desktop: hide call, show Care Console trigger *\/\n      @media (min-width:768px){\n        .lux-alert-call{display:none;}\n        .lux-alert-desk{display:inline-flex;}\n      }\n      \/* Mobile: stack layout, full-width button *\/\n      @media (max-width:767px){\n        .lux-alert-banner{\n          flex-direction:column;\n          align-items:flex-start;\n          gap:10px;\n          padding: 12px 22px;\n        }\n        .lux-alert-cta{width:100%;}\n        .lux-alert-call,\n        .lux-alert-desk{\n          width:100%;\n          box-sizing:border-box;\n        }\n\t\t.lux-alert-title{\n\t\tfont-size:20px;\n\t\t}\n      }\n    <\/style>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding Meniscus Tears and Their Symptoms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside the knee joint lies a C-shaped cartilage structure called the meniscus.

Small Incisions and Camera Guidance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During Arthroscopic Surgery for Meniscus Tears, the surgeon makes small openings around the knee joint.
