What is a torn meniscus?
A torn meniscus is a tear in the tough cartilage inside your knee. Two pieces of cartilage sit inside your knee between your thighbone (femur) and shinbone (tibia). This cartilage is the meniscus. The rubbery wedges of cartilage act like shock absorbers for your knee, providing cushioning for your bones and knee joint. It can tear after a hard twist or rotation of your knee.

As you get older, the cartilage in your knees wears down and gets weaker. This thinner cartilage can tear more easily. Arthritis (a breakdown of cartilage in the joints) can also lead to a meniscus tear. It’s also a common sports injury in people who play sports, even in children and teenagers.

Types of meniscus tears
Each of your knee joints has two menisci:
Medial meniscus: A medial meniscus tear affects the cartilage on the inside of your knee.
Lateral meniscus: A lateral meniscus tear affects the cartilage on the outside of your knee.

How do I know if I tore my meniscus?
People who tear a meniscus often feel like something has popped in their knees at the time of the injury. Other meniscus tear symptoms include:
Feeling like your knee might give out beneath you.
Having knee pain or stiffness or a swollen knee.
Being unable to fully bend or straighten your leg.

What causes meniscal tears?
Acute meniscus tears occur during a sudden motion in which your knee twists while your foot stays planted on the ground. The tear frequently occurs while playing sports. People whose cartilage wears down (due to age or arthritis) can tear a meniscus from a motion as simple as stepping on an uneven surface. Sometimes, degeneration from arthritis causes a tear, even without a knee injury.

What is the best treatment for a torn meniscus?
Depending on the size and location of your meniscus tear, it may heal without surgery. Your healthcare provider may recommend taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medicine (like ibuprofen or aspirin) to relieve pain and reduce swelling. In the days after your injury, you should also follow the RICE method. RICE stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation:
