Meniscal Tears (Knee Cartilage Tear)

Meniscal Tears (Knee Cartilage Tear) are injuries to the C-shaped cartilage in your knee that act as shock absorbers.

They can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the knee, and may need physiotherapy or surgery depending on severity.

Torn Cartilage in Knee

Torn cartilage in the knee can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty in walking or bending the joint. If conservative treatments like physiotherapy or medications don’t help, Torn Cartilage in Knee surgery in Bangalore can restore function and reduce discomfort. Dr. Vinit M Oswal at Spire Clinic specializes in advanced surgical techniques to repair or remove the damaged cartilage, helping patients regain mobility and return to daily activities safely.

What Causes Torn Cartilage in Knee?

• Twisting Injury (Sports) – Sudden twists or turns during activities like football, basketball, or tennis can tear the cartilage. This is common in athletes or people playing sports.
• Wear and Tear (Older People) – As we age, the cartilage in the knee naturally wears down. Over time, this can lead to small tears or degeneration, even with normal daily activities.
• Squatting Injury – Deep squatting or lifting heavy objects incorrectly can strain the knee and cause a tear in the cartilage.

• Joint Line Pain – Pain along the inner or outer edge of the knee.
• Swelling – Knee may swell soon after injury or over time.
• Locking or Catching – Knee may get stuck or catch during movement.
• Limited Movement – Difficulty fully bending or straightening the knee.
