A torn meniscus is one of the most common knee injuries a person can suffer. This tear occurs through the cartilage inside the knee between the femur and tibia.
A torn meniscus is commonly known as a sports injury. Other traumatic events such as car accidents or falls can also cause this injury. Age is also a factor.
When conservative treatments, such as physical therapy, fail or are not an option, surgery to repair the torn meniscus becomes necessary for the patient. More than 850,000 meniscal surgeries are done in this country every year. Arthroscopic knee surgery is common in today’s surgical practices as it is a minimally invasive procedure and produces a faster recovery than conventional open procedures.
If you or a loved one has undergone an arthroscopic meniscus repair as a result of an accident that was due to the fault of another person or entity, you should consult with a personal injury lawyer and accident attorney as soon as possible to discuss your rights and assert your claims.
