What is a meniscal tear of the knee?

What is a meniscal tear of the knee?

There are two menisci in the knee – medial and lateral. They are cartilage that help give cushion to the knee or in other words, keep the bones from touching each other. A tear can occur acutely or can be chronic. The chronic tears come from arthritis. Acute tears usually occur from a twisting injury or a sudden change in direction.
