Surgery to place a Collagen Meniscus Implant typically takes around 1-2 hours and is performed arthroscopically using small incisions. Partial meniscectomy is first done to remove any torn or loose parts of the meniscus.

Studies have shown Collagen Meniscus Implants may provide the following benefits compared to complete meniscectomy alone:

- Distribution of Loading Forces: Implants redistribute weight-bearing forces across the knee similarly to the normal meniscus. This helps alleviate stress on joint surfaces.

- Slow Progression of Arthritis: Preserving more meniscal tissue through the use of implants appears to slow the progression to knee osteoarthritis compared to total meniscectomy without replacement over long-term follow up.
