A member asked:
What is a medial meniscectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cartilage removal: The knee has 2 cushioning cartilages called menisci . They are shaped like a waxing or waning moon. With injury the meniscus can become torn. Most tears of the meniscus do not heal and some require partial removal through arthroscopic surgery.
