From Recovery to Activity: How to Manage a Meniscus Tear Effectively

The knee is the largest, most complex, and hardest-working joint in your body. As it flexes, extends, and rotates, the bones of the knee are buffered by a C-shaped pad of rubbery cartilage called a meniscus. The meniscus acts as a shock absorber that cushions and stabilizes every step, jump, squat, and turn you take. As the meniscus cartilage wears over time, it thins and can become torn, causing significant pain, swelling, and limited mobility.
