Quick Summary:

A Torn Meniscus is one of the most common injuries to the knee. It occurs when the cartilage that provides a cushion between the thighbone (femur) and shinbone (tibia) tears
This injury is usually caused by any athletic sport, such as basketball, football, or track and field events, that may cause the knee to twist forcefully or rotate
Middle-aged men, who participate in athletic sports and activities, are more likely to sustain a Torn Meniscus
Treatment for a Torn Meniscus depends on the type of tear, the size, and the location of the injury. However, the prognosis of a Torn Meniscus is usually excellent with suitable treatment
