Reviewing a proposed procedure with your chosen doctor
Meniscus Surgery
second opinion in Mumbai.
Medical term: Meniscal repair or partial meniscectomy
Already chosen your knee surgeon in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai to review your proposed meniscus surgery? When you cannot attend yourself, Redwood organises your existing records and questions, takes the case to that doctor and shares their recommendations.
You choose the doctor. We take your case to them.
Understand the procedure
What is meniscus surgery?
Meniscus surgery treats selected tears in the cushioning cartilage inside the knee. Repairing the tear and removing a damaged portion are different operations. Symptoms, tear pattern and other knee problems matter when deciding whether surgery is appropriate.
This is general procedure information. Your chosen doctor assesses what applies to you.
Procedure information: NHS: patient information

Your decision, your questions
Questions for your chosen doctor
Choose the questions that matter to your situation. We record them in your own words and take them to the consultation.
- Does the meniscus tear explain my symptoms, or is arthritis also contributing?
- Could the tear be repaired rather than partly removed?
- What non-operative treatment is still reasonable for this tear?
- What restrictions would follow the exact procedure you recommend?
Your existing case file
Records to organise
We organise the knee mri report and images alongside your treatment history and the written procedure recommendation. We note what you want the knee surgeon to clarify and keep the original reports available for the consultation.
Share the records you already have. This is a document checklist, not a request for new tests.
Bring together what is available
- Knee MRI report and images
- Weight-bearing knee X-rays if already available
- Examination findings and physiotherapy records
- Details of locking, swelling, injury and any previous ligament operation
- Your written procedure recommendation, current prescriptions and allergy details
When you cannot attend yourself
How Redwood takes your case to your doctor
- Tell us whom you have chosen. Share the doctor’s name, hospital or clinic, and the decision you want reviewed.
- Prepare the case with us. We organise your existing records, treatment timeline and questions, then coordinate the appointment.
- We attend with your case. Your Care Steward takes the organised meniscus surgery case file to the knee surgeon you selected and puts forward your recorded questions. After the consultation, we share the doctor's recommendations and consultation documents with you.
A video call during the consultation can be arranged if the doctor allows.
We respond within 12 hours of your enquiry.
