Meniscus Tears - filling the treatment gap
Meniscus injuries are quite common. Most often a meniscus tears as a result of a forceful twist or rotation of the knee, but it is important to understand that very often the injuries are rather more degenerative in nature. That means that people pretty often start tearing their meniscus once they pass the age of 45-50 and basically those are not very forceful or very traumatic injuries. A degenerative tear may thus have a minor onset, meaning that the person has a twisting injury perhaps just getting out of the car. Many of these patients will cope with this kind of problem but sometimes this injury becomes too bad, too symptomatic, with pain or a clicking situation or a swelling of the knee, and that's when the surgeon has to act.
