    What is a Meniscus Tear?

    Anatomy of the Meniscus TearOne of the most common knee injuries is a Meniscus Tear. This is also one of the most common sport injuries. The Meniscus refers to the cartilage in the knee, which cushions the joints and absorbs the shock between the shin bone and thigh bone.

    Although the Meniscus is very tough, it can tear from a sudden twist or hit to the knee. It is for this reason that athletes in contact sports often suffer Meniscus Tears or torn cartilage of the knee. In addition to athletes, the elderly are more susceptible to Meniscus Tears, as the Meniscus wears away with age.
