Meniscus Injury Treatment by Dr. Jigar Desai

Dr. Jigar Desai provides specialized care for meniscus injuries using advanced diagnostic tools, non-surgical therapies, and minimally invasive surgical techniques to restore knee function and reduce recovery time.

Meniscus injuries typically occur during forceful twisting or sudden stops, especially in sports. They can also result from gradual wear and tear with aging.

Common symptoms include knee pain, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty bending or straightening the knee. A popping sensation or locking of the knee may also occur.

Diagnosis involves a physical examination and imaging such as MRI to detect the type, size, and location of the tear. Specialized orthopedic tests may also be performed during evaluation.

Treatments range from rest, physiotherapy, and anti-inflammatory medications to arthroscopic surgery for larger tears. Dr. Desai recommends a treatment based on age, activity level, and tear type.

Recovery time depends on the severity and treatment method. Minor tears may heal within weeks, while surgical cases may require 2–3 months of rehab for full recovery.

You can easily book an in-person or online consultation via the clinic’s website or by calling the front desk directly. Priority appointments are available for sports-related injuries.
