Meniscal Surgery
The meniscus is that cushiony piece of cartilage that serves as a virtual shock absorber for the knee; one that cushions and protects the knee, ensuring stability and fluidity of motion. As may be expected, this sensitive bodily region is easily injured, especially during contact sports; when a single twist of the knee can tear the meniscus–and all too often, this injury takes place in conjunction with others, such as an ACL injury.
