Maria Serrantino – Arthroscopic Knee Surgery Maria Serrantino has long aspired to become a collegiate softball player. When she was younger she endured years of knee pain until tears in her menisci revealed congenital discoid meniscus – a condition in which the cartilage pad found in the knee joint (meniscus) is formed in a disc-shape rather than the usual C-shape.
During ambulatory surgeries performed five weeks apart, Maria’s knees were reshaped arthroscopically. Two months later, she was back on the playing field. Maria was awarded a college softball scholarship and went on to continue playing softball and realizing her dreams.
