As a meniscus specialist in Vienna, I am dedicated to the treatment and rehabilitation of meniscal tears, which can affect both athletes and non-athletes. A meniscal tear is one of the most common injuries of the knee joint, which can be caused by sudden or unusual movements during sports activities or by everyday wear and tear. The symptoms of a meniscal tear, such as severe pain, swelling and restricted mobility, can significantly impair not only physical activity but also quality of life.
In my practice, I attach great importance to considering each patient individually and developing a treatment plan tailored to their specific needs.

Diagnosis of meniscal damage and meniscal tears
The diagnosis of a meniscal injury in my practice begins with a thorough medical history and physical examination, followed by imaging procedures. I use modern diagnostic techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine the exact location and extent of the tear. These precise diagnostic methods help to determine the optimal treatment strategy.
Treatment options for a meniscal tear:
The treatment of a meniscal tear in my practice in Vienna depends on several factors, including the patient’s age, activity level, and the specific type of meniscal tear. Conservative treatment methods such as physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory medication and rest may be sufficient for less severe tears. These methods aim to relieve pain and improve the function of the knee.
“For more severe cases or when conservative methods are not successful, I offer specialized meniscus surgeries to ensure long-term solutions and a full recovery.”

Surgical procedures for meniscal tears:
In cases where surgery is necessary, I perform minimally invasive meniscus surgeries that aim to repair the damaged meniscus or replace it if necessary. These procedures are performed using state-of-the-art arthroscopic techniques, which make it possible to speed up recovery and optimize postoperative recovery. The goal is to stabilize the knee joint and restore full functionality.
Aftercare and rehabilitation for a meniscal tear:
After meniscus surgery, careful aftercare and rehabilitation are crucial. I work closely with specialized physiotherapists to ensure that each patient receives an individually tailored rehabilitation plan that is tailored to their specific needs. This comprehensive approach ensures the best possible restoration of mobility and a return to normal activities.
As your meniscus specialist in Vienna, I am here to help you recover quickly and safely from a meniscal tear.

Frequently asked questions about the meniscus
Was ist genau ein Meniskusriss
A meniscal tear is an injury to the menisci, which are two C‑shaped cartilage discs that lie between the femur and the tibia. This injury can occur in various forms, such as tears at the edges, horizontal tears or complex tears, and is often caused by a sudden twisting of the knee, especially when bent.
Welche Symptome sind typisch für einen Meniskusriss?
Typical symptoms of a meniscal tear include pain in the knee, especially on the sides of the joint, swelling, a feeling of instability or pinching in the knee, difficulty bending or straightening the knee, and sometimes an audible crack.
Wie wird ein Meniskusriss diagnostiziert?
The diagnosis begins with a physical examination, during which I perform special tests to assess the integrity of your menisci. This is usually followed by imaging such as MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), which allows me to accurately visualize the extent and specific type of tear.
Sind alle Meniskusrisse operationsbedürftig?
Not all meniscal tears require surgery. Small tears or tears in areas of the meniscus that have a good blood supply can often be treated conservatively with rest, ice, compression, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy. I decide whether surgery is necessary based on the extent of the tear and your individual lifestyle.
Was beinhaltet die chirurgische Behandlung eines Meniskusrisses?
Surgical procedures can range from a meniscus suture, in which the torn meniscus is sutured, to a partial meniscectomy, in which the damaged tissue is removed. In younger patients or active adults, I often strive to preserve the meniscus in order to protect the long-term health of the knee.
Wie sieht der typische Heilungsprozess nach einer Meniskus-OP aus?
After meniscus surgery, healing typically involves a period of immobilization, followed by gradual weight-bearing. Physical therapy is an essential part of rehabilitation to restore mobility and strengthen the knee. Full recovery can vary depending on the type of surgery and individual response, but usually takes several weeks to months.
Wie kann ich einem Meniskusriss vorbeugen?
Preventive measures include strengthening the knee muscles through regular exercise, wearing appropriate shoes, avoiding sudden twisting movements during exercise, and warming up before sports activities. If you have existing knee problems, wearing a knee brace during sports can also be useful.
