  2. Anatomy of the Meniscus Cushioning Stability The meniscus acts as a shock absorber, protecting the knee cartilage from excessive wear and tear. It helps to stabilize the knee joint and prevent excessive movement, especially during activities that involve twisting or pivoting.

  3. Common Causes of Meniscus Tears Sports Injuries Degenerative Changes 1 2 Rapid twisting or pivoting movements during sports, like football or basketball, can tear the meniscus. Over time, the meniscus can degenerate, making it more susceptible to tears, especially in individuals over 40. Direct Impact 3 A direct blow to the knee, such as from a fall or a car accident, can also lead to a meniscus tear.

  4. Symptoms of a Meniscus Tear Pain Swelling Sharp pain that may be localized to the inner or outer part of the knee, especially when twisting or bending. Swelling around the knee joint, which may develop quickly or gradually over time. Limited Mobility Clicking Difficulty bending or straightening the knee, and a feeling of "locking" or "catching" in the joint. A clicking or popping sound when the knee is moved, indicating that the torn meniscus is moving within the joint.

  5. Diagnostic Approaches Physical Exam X-ray MRI A physical exam to assess range of motion, tenderness, and instability. To rule out other conditions, such as fractures, but may not always show a meniscus tear. The most effective method for diagnosing meniscus tears, providing detailed images of the soft tissues.

  6. Treatment Options RICE Therapy Physical Therapy Surgery Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation to reduce pain and inflammation. Exercises to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and restore function. In severe cases, surgery may be required to repair or remove the torn portion of the meniscus.
