They act as shock absorbers and allow some rotation or twist at the knee joint. Tears can occur in the meniscus after sudden twisting injuries, such as a fall when skiing. Symptoms are pain along the line of the joint and sometimes locking when trying to bend or straighten the knee.<\/p>\n

What can Petersfield Physio do to help Knee Meniscus Tears?<\/u><\/p>\n

We can help to reduce the inflammation caused by the tear with ice, electrotherapy and K Tape. We can restore movement with mobilisations and strength and function to the knee with an exercise programme. Sometimes keyhole surgery is necessary to remove the torn segment of the meniscus; if so we can help restore the knee to full function and return to sport.
