Meniscectomy vs Meniscus Replacement - Meniscus Tear Treatment Options

The meniscus is the key force distributor of the knee joint. When torn, it fails to protect the tibia from the forces exerted by walking and sports. Pain results. If the surgeon removes the torn part of the meniscus, the pain is often relieved for a while—until the cartilage and bone underneath wear down. The solution? Save the meniscus.

Kevin R. Stone, MD is one of the world’s leading experts in meniscus transplantation and a pioneer of biologic orthopaedic techniques. For over 30 years, he and his team have specialized in giving people back their vital meniscus shock absorbers, keeping the knee moving naturally, and reducing the likelihood of a total knee replacement.

Injury-related osteoarthritis is not something you have to grin and bear. It is a fixable condition. There are alternatives to treating knees, which can help delay or avoid an artificial knee replacement. Even in cases with advanced damage, knees can be biologically reconstructed by carefully regenerating and rebuilding tissues instead of cutting out large parts and replacing them with metal and plastic.

Dr. Stone developed the BioKnee program to replace, regenerate or rebuild damaged portions of knee cartilage and injured ligaments using advanced biologic techniques, restoring the articular cartilage and replacing the meniscus while preserving as much of the natural biology of your knee as possible.
