About Meniscus Tear in Kolkata
A Meniscus Tear is an injury to one of the two crescent-shaped pieces of cartilage in the knee that act as cushions between the thigh bone and shin bone, absorbing shock and stabilizing the joint. Tears can occur acutely from sudden twisting movements during sports, often alongside ligament injuries, or develop gradually from age-related degeneration of the cartilage. The injury can cause the knee to catch, lock, or feel unstable depending on the tear's size and location. While some tears heal with conservative management, others require surgical intervention to restore normal knee function.
