The longevity of a meniscus repair depends on several clinical factors, including the location and extent of the tear, the surgical technique used, and post-operative care. When the meniscus is repaired successfully—typically in tears located in the vascular (outer) zone—the results can be long-lasting.
Properly performed meniscus repairs can remain effective for 5 to 10 years or more, especially when patients follow prescribed rehabilitation protocols. Some individuals maintain normal knee function long term without further intervention.
However, factors like patient age, activity level, and existing joint degeneration (e.g., osteoarthritis) can influence long-term success. In some cases, additional treatment may be required if the meniscus re-tears or degenerates over time.
Regular follow-up with the orthopedic surgeon and adherence to rehabilitation guidelines are essential for optimizing surgical outcomes and preserving knee joint health.
