Meniscus Tear

Causes and Risk Factors:

• Sudden twisting or turning, especially during sports
• Squatting or lifting heavy objects
• Aging and wear-and-tear, which can weaken the cartilage
• Repetitive knee movements or overuse
• Previous knee injuries
• Weak leg muscles or poor joint stability

What Happens If Left Untreated?

If not treated, a meniscus tear can lead to chronic knee pain, swelling, reduced mobility, and further joint damage, possibly increasing the risk of arthritis.
