Meniscus repair involves suturing the torn edges of the meniscus together to promote healing and preserve the natural structure of the meniscus. This procedure is typically preferred for younger patients, those with healthy meniscus tissue, as it aims to restore normal knee function and reduce the risk of long-term complications like arthritis.
