Medial and Lateral Meniscus Tears Treatment
Dr. Pramod Bhor specializes in treating medial and lateral meniscus tears, which are among the most common knee injuries. The meniscus is a C-shaped cartilage that acts as a shock absorber in the knee joint.
Each knee has two menisci: the medial meniscus on the inner side and the lateral meniscus on the outer side. Tears can occur in either or both menisci, causing pain, swelling, and knee dysfunction.
