In today’s detailed and eye-opening video, Dr. Sandeep Gupta (Director – Orthopaedic & Joint Replacement Surgery, Max Hospital, Mohali) discusses Meniscus Tear Myths & Facts.

👉 What is the meniscus?
The meniscus is a washer-like cushion between the knee cartilages, helping absorb shock and protect the joint. Each knee has two — the lateral meniscus (outside) and the medial meniscus (inside).

👉 Do all meniscus tears require treatment?
Not necessarily. Dr. Sandeep explains the two broad categories of meniscus injuries:

1️⃣ Acute Traumatic Meniscus Tear

Happens due to a sports injury or sudden twisting fall (common in footballers, kabaddi players, etc.).
Leads to swelling, pain, and is confirmed on MRI.
Needs prompt treatment, as untreated tears reduce the knee’s lifespan.

2️⃣ Chronic/Incidental Meniscus Tear

Found on MRI in middle-aged patients without a history of trauma.
Part of a natural degenerative process (knee wear & tear).
Does not always require surgery. Treatment depends on the stage of osteoarthritis (Stage 1 to 4).
Management may include weight reduction, exercise, supplements, or corrective osteotomy in some cases.

💡 Key takeaway:
👉 Not all meniscus tears are the same.
👉 Acute traumatic tears must be treated promptly.
👉 Chronic incidental tears should be managed based on the overall knee condition, not in isolation.
