Meniscus Treatment in Hyderabad

What is the Meniscus?

The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage in the knee that acts as a shock absorber between your thigh bone (femur) and shinbone (tibia). Each knee has two menisci:

Medial Meniscus – Inside of the knee
Lateral Meniscus – Outside of the knee

When torn, the meniscus can cause pain, instability, and locking of the knee joint.

Symptoms of a Torn Meniscus

Sharp pain in the knee during movement
Swelling and stiffness
Catching or locking sensation in the joint
Difficulty squatting or bending the knee
Knee giving way or feeling unstable
Clicking or popping sounds
