Meniscus Tear Repair

Our orthopedic experts provide advanced care for meniscus tears, including medication, physical therapy and minimally invasive surgical options.

Telehealth appointments are available.

Expert Treatment for a Meniscus Tear

The menisci are two soft rubbery discs that cushion your knee joint. These discs can develop tears due to activity or age. Our doctors will examine your injury and design a meniscus repair treatment plan that works best for you.

We use anti-inflammatory medications and physical therapy to treat smaller meniscal tears. Steroid or platelet-rich plasma injections may also be recommended. But, if you need more advanced care, our orthopedic team specializes in minimally invasive surgical options to remove torn cartilage or repair tears with sutures. Our goal is to help you recover and improve your quality of life.

Advanced Meniscus Surgery to Get You Moving Again

We use advanced, minimally invasive meniscus surgery, such as arthroscopy, to reduce your discomfort and improve your recovery time.

Our surgeons work with physical therapists to deliver high-quality, integrated care.

The same trusted doctors who treat USC athletes and the LA Kings will be your partners in care.

Our physicians are ranked as “Top Doctors” by Los Angeles magazine and Pasadena Magazine.
