FAQs

A meniscus tear is a common knee injury involving a tear in the meniscus, the cartilage that cushions and stabilizes the knee joint. These tears can range from minor to severe, affecting either the inner or outer meniscus.

Meniscus tears often occur during sports that require twisting or turning quickly on a bent knee, often while the foot is planted. They can also result from degenerative changes in older adults.

Symptoms typically include pain in the knee, swelling, a popping sensation during the injury, difficulty bending and straightening the leg, and a tendency for the knee to get "stuck" or lock up.

Diagnosis generally involves a physical examination, where specific maneuvers may provoke meniscus symptoms. Imaging tests, such as MRI, are often used to confirm the extent and location of the tear.

Treatment can range from conservative methods, such as rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), to physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgical repair or removal of the torn cartilage.

Meniscus Tear Explained

Understanding Meniscus Tears

Meniscus tears are among the most common knee injuries. The meniscus acts as a shock absorber between your thighbone and shinbone. A tear in this cartilage can lead to pain, swelling, and problems with knee function.

Symptoms of Meniscus Tears

Symptoms may include:

  • Sharp, severe pain in the knee
  • Swelling or stiffness
  • A feeling of the knee giving way
  • Locking of the knee joint
  • Difficulty fully straightening the knee

Causes and Risk Factors

Meniscus tears are commonly caused by:

  • Sports activities that involve twisting or over-flexing the knee joint
  • Traumatic injury or direct impact
  • Age-related wear and tear, making the meniscus weaker and more prone to tears

Diagnosis and Treatment

The diagnosis may include:

  • Physical exam with specific tests to manipulate the knee and detect a meniscus injury
  • Imaging tests like MRI to visualize the damage

Treatment options vary depending on the severity of the tear and the patient’s activity level and may include:

  • Physical Therapy: To strengthen muscles and improve joint mechanics
  • Medications: For pain relief
  • Surgical Intervention: Arthroscopic surgery to repair or remove damaged cartilage

Prevention

Preventive strategies include:

  • Strengthening leg muscles to support the knee
  • Using proper techniques during sports and activities
  • Warming up and cooling down properly during physical activity
