What is the meniscus of the knee?

The meniscus is a piece of cartilage in the knee that sits between the joints like a cushion and holds them together. The meniscus prevents bone wear. But a simple twist of the knee is enough to tear the meniscus. Sometimes pieces of cartilage come off and get stuck in the knee joint, causing it to lock.

 

Knee meniscus tears are common in sports such as American football, as well as sports such as volleyball and soccer, which involve jumping and strenuous activity. This happens when a person suddenly changes direction while running, and often occurs at the same time as other injuries, such as damage to the Anterior Cruciate Ligament. Meniscus tears are also more risky in older athletes, as the meniscus gets weaker over time. More than 40% of people over the age of 65 are affected.

Before exercising, warm up with light activities.

Radiology will also be done to make sure the bones do not break or other problems. MRI scans also provide a more accurate assessment of the condition of the cartilage in the knee.

 

How to treat a knee meniscus tear?

The type of treatment depends on the type, size and location of the tear, age, activity level, and any associated injuries. The outer third of the meniscus has a rich blood supply. A rupture in this area may heal on its own or can often be repaired with surgery. Longitudinal rupture is an example of this type of rupture. In contrast, the inner two-thirds of the meniscus do not have blood supply so it is not able to repair the damage. These complex tears often occur in the thin area of ​​the meniscus as well. Because the pieces in this area can not be repaired together, the tears in this area are usually removed by surgery.

Incomplete removal of the meniscus: In this method, only the damaged part of the meniscus tissue will be removed

Meniscus repair: Some meniscus tears can be repaired by suturing torn pieces together.
