Meniscus Repair
Overview
A keyhole knee surgery to repair or trim a torn meniscus cartilage, often performed as same-day surgery. Our partner hospitals deliver meniscus repair using internationally recognised protocols, latest-generation equipment, and surgeons with extensive experience — many internationally trained. Self-funded ACL reconstruction in Australia: AUD 12,000–18,000. Public-system waits up to 12 months. Through Earth Abroad's partner network in India, the same meniscus repair is available from $2,500 — at a fraction of Australian self-funded cost — in JCI-accredited facilities with care quality matching or exceeding Australian standards.
