متن کاملMeniscal tear - presentation, diagnosis and management.
BACKGROUND Medial and lateral knee joint menisci serve to transfer load and absorb shock, aid joint stability and provide lubrication. The meniscus is the most commonly injured structure in the knee joint. Imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging may be warranted but are no substitute for thorough clinical history and examination. OBJECTIVE This article outlines the aetiology, pr...
متن کاملRelationship between Pain and Medial Meniscal Extrusion in Knee Osteoarthritis.
