Meniscus Tear Knee
There are two menisci in your knee; each rests between the thigh bone and shin bone. They are made of tough cartilage and stick to the surfaces of the bones they lay on. One meniscus is on the inside of your knee and the other meniscus rests on the outside of your knee. The two most common causes of a meniscus tear are due to traumatic injury and degenerative processes. The most common mechanism of a traumatic meniscus tear occurs when the knee joint is bent and the knee is then twisted. Common symptoms of a meniscus tear are knee pain, swelling of the knee, tenderness, and limited motion of the knee. If you believe you may have a meniscus tear, then you need to visit your local doctor for an examination.
