The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage in your knee that cushions and stabilizes the joint. Each knee has two menisci — one on the inner side and one on the outer side.
A meniscus tear happens when this cartilage tears, often during sports, twisting motions, squatting, or as part of the natural aging process. Meniscus tears are one of the most common knee injuries, especially among athletes and older adults.
| Treatment Type | Description | When Recommended | Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation (RICE) | Conservative approach for minor tears | Small, stable tears without locking | Reduces swelling, promotes natural healing |
| Medications | NSAIDs for pain and inflammation control | Mild to moderate pain | Improves comfort during recovery |
| Physical Therapy | Strengthening and mobility exercises | Conservative or post-surgical rehabilitation | Improves joint function, prevents stiffness |
| Knee Bracing | Supports the knee and limits motion | Partial tears or after surgery | Enhances stability during healing |
| Arthroscopic Meniscectomy | Minimally invasive surgery to remove torn meniscus parts | When pain and mechanical symptoms persist | Quick recovery, pain relief |
| Meniscus Repair Surgery | Stitching the torn meniscus to preserve tissue | In younger patients with good healing potential | Preserves knee structure, prevents arthritis |
| Meniscus Transplant (in rare cases) | Replacement with donor cartilage | In severe damage and younger patients | Restores cushioning and function |
