Meniscus Injuries: Assessment, Treatment & Recovery

Meniscus injuries involve the cartilage cushions inside the knee and can cause pain, swelling, catching or limited movement.

What we assess and consider

Assessment of symptoms and knee function; imaging when indicated; treatment may include activity modification and rehabilitation, with arthroscopic options considered for selected cases.

Common reasons for assessment

  • Pain with twisting or squatting
  • Swelling or catching sensations
  • Difficulty fully bending or straightening the knee
Recovery and next steps: Recovery depends on tear pattern and treatment. Follow the clinician’s guidance on loading and return to activity. Treatment decisions are made after an individual clinical assessment; not every patient needs surgery.
