Introduction
Physical Therapy in Hazle Township for Knee
Welcome to FYZICAL Hazleton's patient resource about Meniscal Injuries.
The meniscus is a commonly injured structure in the knee. The injury can occur in any age group. In younger people, the meniscus is fairly tough and rubbery, and tears usually occur as a result of a forceful twisting injury. The meniscus grows weaker with age, and meniscal tears can occur in aging adults as the result of fairly minor injuries, even from the up-and-down motion of squatting.
This guide will help you understand:
- where the meniscus is located in the knee
- how an injured meniscus causes problems
- what can be done for an injured meniscus
