Meniscus Tear Surgery

Prof. Dr. Sinan KAHRAMAN and her expert team safely perform treatments and achieve successful results.

Meniscus Tear

A meniscus tear is a condition in which the menisci within the knee joint are damaged due to sports-related trauma or age-related degeneration.

How Is Meniscus Surgery Performed?

It is a minimally invasive procedure performed by entering the joint through two small incisions, using a camera and specialized surgical instruments.

What Are the Advantages of Meniscus Surgery?

Since it is a minimally invasive surgery, the patient can begin rehabilitation early. As there is no muscle incision, postoperative pain is minimal to none.

Postoperative Process After Meniscus Surgery

After meniscus repair surgery, the patient does not bear weight for 4 to 6 weeks. After the sixth week, the patient gradually starts weight-bearing and undergoes physical therapy for about 1 to 1.5 months. Sports activities can typically be resumed after the third month.

 

He graduated from Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine. Between 2004 and 2010, he completed his residency training in the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology at Bezmialem Vakıf University Faculty of Medicine, becoming a specialist in Orthopedics and Traumatology.

    I am grateful to Prof. Sinan for everything and sincerely thank him for his kindness and attentive care. On July 15, 2016, my left leg was severely fractured in a traffic accident. There was a high risk of my leg becoming shorter, impaired, or leaving me with a limp. After three surgeries performed by Prof. Sinan, I was able to return to my place in the squad in amateur football matches.

    I met Mr. Sinan because of my daughter’s scoliosis surgery. We are very lucky that he came into our lives during such a difficult time. His experience in his profession and his sincere care and attention to his patient left us in admiration. I saw in Dr. Sinan what it means to truly love one’s profession. After a 14-hour surgery, my daughter regained her health thanks to Dr. Sinan and his team. I don’t even know how to thank him. I wish Dr. Sinan success in his profession and happiness in his life.

    Dr. Sinan, endless thanks for everything—we are truly grateful. Thanks to the surgery you performed, my mother’s shoulder pain, which had been keeping her awake especially at night for a year, has come to an end. You diagnosed the causes of her shoulder pain as frozen shoulder, degeneration, narrowing, and a tear, and you successfully treated all of them with a single operation. No matter how much we thank you, it is not enough—we are deeply grateful. We are so glad to have you. May God grant you strength and good health and never let you be absent from our lives. Wishing you continued success, Dr. Sinan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a meniscus tear?
Menisküs yırtığı, diz ekleminde bulunan C şeklindeki kıkırdak yapılar olan menisküslerin yırtılması sonucu oluşan bir yaralanmadır. Menisküsler, diz ekleminde şok emici görevi görür ve eklemin stabilitesine katkıda bulunur. Her dizde iki menisküs bulunur: iç menisküs (medial) ve dış menisküs (lateral). Menisküs yırtıkları, genellikle spor yaralanmaları, ani dönme hareketleri veya dizin aşırı zorlanması sonucu meydana gelir.
Main Causes of Meniscus Tears
Menisküs yırtığının başlıca nedenleri arasında spor aktiviteleri, özellikle ani dönme ve bükülme hareketleri gerektiren futbol, basketbol gibi sporlar yer alır. Ayrıca, yaşlanma ile birlikte menisküsler zayıflayabilir ve dejeneratif yırtıklar oluşabilir. Bu durumda, basit bir yanlış adım veya hafif bir travma bile menisküs yırtığına yol açabilir.
Main Causes of Meniscus Tears
Symptoms of a meniscus tear include knee pain, swelling, a feeling of locking or catching, limited knee movement, and a popping sound from the knee. Depending on the size and location of the tear, some patients may have difficulty walking or be unable to fully bend their knees. The pain is usually felt on the inside or outside of the knee and increases with activity.
The Importance of Early Diagnosis

The diagnosis of a meniscus tear is made through physical examination, the patient’s medical history, and imaging methods such as MRI. During the physical examination, the doctor evaluates the location and severity of the tear by moving the knee in different positions. MRI provides detailed imaging of the meniscus tear and helps identify other structural abnormalities.
