A sudden twist during sports or a gradual onset of knee locking can signal a meniscus injury. At Rapha Sports and Regenerative Orthopaedics in Bengaluru, Dr. Joel Prasad provides structured Meniscus Tear Treatment aimed at restoring knee stability and preventing further cartilage damage.
The meniscus acts as a shock absorber between the thigh bone and shin bone. When torn, it can cause pain, swelling, clicking sounds, and difficulty bending the knee fully. Treatment depends on tear type, size, and patient activity level. Minor tears may respond to conservative care such as physiotherapy and activity modification. In more significant cases, arthroscopic repair or partial meniscectomy may be recommended to preserve as much meniscal tissue as possible.
Delaying treatment may increase the risk of early osteoarthritis due to altered joint mechanics. Accurate diagnosis through clinical examination and imaging ensures appropriate management. Preserving knee structure is especially important for active individuals and athletes.
If you are experiencing persistent knee discomfort or mechanical symptoms, consider an evaluation to determine the right Meniscus Tear Treatment plan.
