Learn about a knee meniscus tear, one of the most common causes of knee pain, in this physician reviewed video.

Surgery for a torn meniscus involves arthroscopic procedures to repair or trim damaged cartilage, promoting knee function and relieving pain.

Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) tears, common in sports like football and hockey, often result from a direct knee blow or abrupt change in direction on one foot.

Meniscal tear treatment options include rest, physical therapy, anti-inflammatories, and, in severe cases, arthroscopic surgery.
