Introduction

This episode of the Orthobulads podcast will go over the topic of meniscal injury from the knee and sports section on orthobulads.com. Meniscal tears are common sports related injuries in young athletes and can also present as a degenerative condition in older patients. Diagnosis can be suspected clinically with joint line tenderness and a positive McMurries test and can be confirmed with MRI studies. Treatment can be non-operative versus operative, that is partial menisectomy versus repair depending on the morphology of the meniscus tear,.
