Knee pain that appears during bending or twisting is often ignored until movement feels unstable. Dr. Joel Prasad in Bengaluru frequently evaluates patients whose knee discomfort gradually turned into locking or swelling. Meniscus injuries need careful attention because they play a vital role in knee stability and shock absorption.
The meniscus helps distribute weight across the knee joint. When injured, even routine movements can strain surrounding cartilage. Treatment depends on the type and extent of the tear. Early diagnosis allows conservative care or repair focused on preserving natural tissue whenever possible rather than removing it unnecessarily.
Delaying treatment can increase joint wear and raise the risk of early arthritis. Timely care helps protect long term knee health and improves recovery outcomes. Addressing knee pain early often prevents more complex procedures later.
Consult Dr. Joel Prasad to understand meniscus treatment options before knee function declines further.
