Understanding Meniscus Tears
A meniscus tear is a common knee injury that occurs when the cartilage between the thighbone (femur) and shinbone (tibia) is damaged. This injury can result from sudden twists or turns, heavy lifting, or degenerative changes. Meniscus tears can range from minor to severe and may require different treatment approaches depending on the extent of the injury.
Symptoms of Meniscus Tears
- Pain and Swelling: Persistent pain in the knee joint and swelling soon after the injury.
- Stiffness and Limited Range of Motion: Difficulty bending or straightening the knee fully.
- Locking or Catching Sensation: Feeling as though the knee is stuck or locked in place.
- Instability: A feeling of the knee giving way or being unstable.
- Clicking or Popping: Audible sounds when moving the knee.
