Meniscal Injuries
Meniscal Injuries

Meniscal injuries involve damage to the menisci, which are C-shaped cartilage pads that cushion and stabilize the knee joint. These injuries often occur during activities that involve twisting or turning motions, such as in sports. Symptoms may include knee pain, swelling, stiffness, and a feeling of catching or locking in the joint. Treatment can vary from rest and physical therapy to surgical intervention, depending on the severity of the injury and the specific location of the tear.
