Meniscal Tears

The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of tough, rubbery cartilage that acts as a shock absorber between your shinbone and thighbone. A meniscal tear is a common knee injury that can occur during sports or due to age-related wear and tear. Symptoms of a meniscal tear include pain, swelling, and a feeling of the knee being "locked" or unstable.

Timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential for managing the symptoms of a meniscal tear and preventing further joint damage. Depending on the severity of the tear, treatment may include conservative options like rest, ice, Compression, and elevation (RICE), physiotherapy, medications, or surgical intervention to repair or remove the damaged part of the meniscus.
