The menisci - the medial meniscus and lateral meniscus - are crescent-shaped bands of thick, rubbery cartilage attached to the shinbone (tibia). They act as shock absorbers and stabilize the knee. The medial meniscus is on the inner side of the knee joint. The lateral meniscus is on the outside of the knee. Meniscus tears can vary widely in size and severity. A meniscus can be split in half, ripped around its circumference in the shape of a C or left hanging by a thread to the knee joint.
1 A torn meniscus occurs because of trauma caused by forceful twisting or hyper-flexing of the knee joint. 2  Symptoms of a torn meniscus include knee pain, swelling, popping, and giving way.  Treatment of a torn meniscus may include observation and physical therapy with muscle strengthening to stabilize the knee joint.
