Meniscus Injury | Knee Joint Pain | Dr Prashant Arya

Dr Prashant Arya, Consultant, Orthopaedics and Joint Replacement Surgery at Narayana Hospital -Brahmananda, Jamshedpur discusses Meniscus injuries.
The meniscus, a crucial tissue within the knee joint, serves as a cushion between the femur and leg bones, absorbing shock and preventing joint wear and tear.
Reasons for Meniscus Injury:
- Bending or twisting of the knee
Symptoms of Meniscus Injury:
- Knee pain when sitting
- Difficulty walking or bearing weight
- Pain when walking on stairs
- Knee discomfort while bending
Surgical intervention may be necessary for younger patients to repair the meniscus and restore anatomical integrity. However, surgical trimming of the damaged portion becomes essential when a repair isn't possible or practical. Preserving the structural integrity of the knee is essential, particularly in younger individuals.
Dr Prashant Arya emphasises the significance of early diagnosis and appropriate treatment for meniscus injuries, underscoring the importance of preserving knee function and structural integrity, especially in younger patients.
