Knee
My Meniscus
Each knee has two menisci — C-shaped cartilage pads that cushion the joint and absorb shock when you walk, run, and turn.
What can go wrong
Meniscus tears happen from twisting with a planted foot, deep squatting, or age-related degeneration. Symptoms include pain along the joint line, swelling, catching, or a sensation of the knee locking. Many tears heal with rest and therapy; some require arthroscopic repair or partial meniscectomy.
Prevention
- Build quad and hamstring strength
- Avoid deep squats with heavy loads if predisposed
- Warm up before pivoting sports
