Meniscus Injuries
The orthopedist is the specialist who evaluates meniscus injuries. The menisci are two crescent-shaped cartilage pads located inside the knee that act as shock absorbers between the femur and the tibia.
What they are: a meniscal injury is a tear or breakdown of this cartilage, which can happen from a sudden twist of the knee or from wear over time.
Common symptoms: knee pain, swelling, and a sensation of locking or of the joint "giving out" when you bear weight.
Support team: along with the orthopedist and the orthopedic trauma specialist, the physical therapist takes part in restoring movement. If your knee swells, hurts, or locks after an effort, discussing it with a professional helps define the next steps.
