Some of the most common orthopedic related to knee injuries and one of the most common knee related problems are meniscus problem. Generally, the term 'meniscus' is used to refer to the cartilage of the knee, either to the lateral or medial meniscus. There are two general types of meniscus injuries, acute tears that are often the result of trauma or a sports injury and chronic or wear-and-tear type tears. Non-surgical treatment is often considered first for a smaller or chronic tear that does not appear amenable to surgical repair. Two surgeries of the meniscus are most common. Depending on the type and location of the tear, the patient's age, and physician's preference, injured menisci are usually either repaired or removed, in part or completely (meniscectomy).
