Develop pain gradually along the meniscus and joint line when
you put stress on your knees (usually during a repeated
activity). ...
Procedure
partial meniscectomy normally takes about between 20 and 40
minutes to perform, and usually you will be able to leave the
hospital the same day.
Fluid is injected into the knee joint through one of these portals,
which allows the surgeon to view, through the arthroscope, the
extent of the tear.
Incisions are usually closed with stitches and the patient is taken to the
recovery room.
