Meniscus Tears
A meniscus tear can cause pain, swelling, and a sensation of locking or catching in the knee. The medial and lateral meniscus are C-shaped pads of tough fibrous cartilage that sit in the knee joint between the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone). They serve as shock absorbers, distributing forces, and asissting in knee stability.
