ASK THE DOC

Did I tear my meniscus?

Dr. Steven Andelman, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in adult and pediatric sports medicine, discusses
what such tears mean and what can be done to treat – and prevent – them.

The meniscus, a C-shaped disc of soft cartilage that sits between the femur and the tibia, acts as a cushion or “shock absorber” in each of your
knees. There are over 500,000 meniscal tears in the U.S. every year – but not all of them are alike.

There are two kinds of these tears: acute, which tends to occur with younger people during an activity like playing basketball or even getting
out of your chair; and degenerative, which can coincide with the wear-and-tear we experience as we get older, starting at about age 40.
If untreated, the latter can contribute to arthritis and chronic pain going forward.

The assumption that surgery is the only option in meniscal tear cases is often untrue. We treat patients on an individualized basis and the
great majority can recover through medications, injections, physical therapy and/or bracing. If surgery is necessary, we have a range of new
instruments and procedures that are minimally invasive and done arthroscopically.

Whatever the course of treatment, most patients can recover within six to eight weeks. Although sometimes meniscal tears “just happen,”
preventive measures can be taken: Stabilizing the knee to maintain a strong core through exercises that strengthen the legs and/or wearing a
knee brace, properly warming up before and after exercise, and of course maintaining a healthy exercise and diet regimen.
