Additional Information for Meniscotome
A Meniscotome is a type of surgical instrument used in orthopedic procedures, specifically for the treatment of meniscal tears in the knee joint. The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage that acts as a shock absorber between the thigh bone (femur) and the shin bone (tibia) in the knee joint. When the meniscus is torn, it can cause pain, swelling, and limited mobility.
A Meniscotome is designed to remove or repair the damaged portion of the meniscus. It typically consists of a long, slender shaft with a sharp, curved blade at the end. The blade is used to make precise incisions in the meniscus tissue, allowing the surgeon to remove the torn portion or repair it using sutures or other techniques.
Meniscotomes are commonly used in arthroscopic procedures, where a small camera and surgical instruments are inserted into the joint through small incisions. This minimally invasive approach allows for better visualization and manipulation of the meniscus, resulting in faster recovery times and reduced risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery.
In summary, a Meniscotome is a surgical instrument used for the treatment of meniscal tears in the knee joint. It is part of the Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies supply class in the Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies supply group.
