A Meniscus Tear, may sound like a minor injury, but for many people across Delhi and Noida, it can bring life to a painful halt. The knee suddenly doesn’t feel as strong. Everyday movement becomes uncomfortable. Squatting, walking, or climbing stairs can all trigger sharp pain.
Whether you're an active athlete or a working professional, understanding this injury is key to recovery. In this post, Dr. Anuj Jain, one of the most experienced orthopaedic specialists in the region, breaks down what a Meniscus Tear really is and how it’s best managed.
What Is a Meniscus Tear?
The meniscus is a wedge-shaped cartilage in your knee that cushions the bones and allows smooth movement. A Meniscus Tear occurs when this cartilage is stretched or torn, often from sudden twisting, heavy pressure, or age-related wear.
Common signs include:
- Pain while bending or straightening the knee
- Swelling around the joint
- Feeling like the knee is locking or catching
- Limited flexibility
Why Does a Meniscus Tear Happen?
This injury can occur in many situations:
- A sudden turn or twist during a game or workout
- Long hours of squatting or lifting heavy items
- Cartilage wearing down with age
- Slips, falls, or direct impact to the knee
How the Condition Is Diagnosed
Identifying a Meniscus Tear requires a detailed approach:
- Physical examination to check movement and pain
- MRI scans for detailed imaging of the cartilage
- X-rays to rule out fractures or arthritis
Treatment Options for Meniscus Tear
Not every tear needs surgery. Depending on the tear’s size and location, Dr. Anuj Jain recommends one of the following: Non-surgical care:
- Rest and reduced activity
- Cold packs and anti-inflammatory medicines
- Physiotherapy to restore strength
- Knee support braces
- For deeper or more painful tears, arthroscopic surgery may be required to repair or trim the torn cartilage. This minimally invasive procedure allows faster recovery and minimal scarring.
Rehabilitation and Strengthening
Post-treatment recovery is crucial. A proper rehab program ensures the knee heals fully and regains strength. Typical exercises include:
- Static leg raises
- Quad strengthening routines
- Controlled squats and step-ups
- Resistance training under supervision
