A meniscectomy is typically performed when you have a torn meniscus, which is a common knee injury. About 66 out of every 100,000 people tear a meniscus per year. The goal of the surgery is to remove fragments of the meniscus that stick out into the joint. These fragments can interfere with joint movement and cause your knee to lock. ⁣ #acl #aclreconstruction #aclrecovery #aclrehab #knee #kneehealth #kneeinjury #kneepain #kneerehab #kneesurgery #kneesurgeryrecovery #menisco #meniscus #meniscusre
