Meniscus Treatment
A meniscus injury is frequent among athletes and can result in long-term discomfort and unstable knees. The menisci, which are c-shaped patches of fibrocartilage that coat the knee, are crucial for distributing weight evenly throughout the joint and safeguarding the articular cartilage. The medial and lateral meniscus, which make up the meniscus, each act as a stress absorber for the knee. The severity of injuries to the medial and lateral meniscus will vary, and some cases may be regarded as particularly severe and complex.
