Questions

Meniscus injuries are more common for people under the age of 30.

Explanation:

The meniscus is often injured as athletes attempt a twisting or weight-bearing motion. Meniscus injuries are more common for people over the age of 30, as the meniscus weakens as we age. They can also occur as a result of diseases such as osteoarthritis.

Symptoms of a meniscus tear include pain on one side of the knee.

Explanation:

Symptoms of a meniscus tear include pain on one side of the knee, localized swelling, loss of range of motion and a sensation of the knee locking or not being able to straighten it completely.

Explanation:

You may experience a tear of the posterior horn of the meniscus, medial meniscus, lateral meniscus or bucket handle.

Explanation:

In most cases a meniscal tear can be treated with the RICE protocol (rest, ice, compression and elevation), anti-inflammatories, bracing and physiotherapy to stretch and strengthen the muscles of the knee.

Following surgery, most patients will remain in the hospital for 2-4 days.

    Terribly rude. Did not read the form he insisted I fill out ASAP before the appointment which resulted in a miscommunication. He treated me like a criminal after talking with me for less than a minute. He fabricated facts and threw them at me like scraps for a monster. He became completely disinterested after I said I couldn't pay for shots, said he was sending me back to my GO and almost ran out of the room. Horrid doctor. Stay away.
