Abstract

Meniscal pathology is common, and symptomatic meniscal tears are a leading cause of visits to healthcare providers. Injury to the meniscus can present in many different ways, depending on the patients’ age and mechanism of injury. In this chapter we will discuss the clinical presentation, physical examination, and imaging modalities used to diagnose meniscal pathology.
