Meniscus injuriesMeniscus injuries
Common knee injury. Usually caused by Common knee injury. Usually caused by indirect rotational forces. The menisci are indirect rotational forces. The menisci are bradytrop tissues, only the bradytrop tissues, only the outer ¼outer ¼ („red („red zone”)zone”) has a blood supplyhas a blood supply, the , the remaining ¾ remaining ¾ receives nutrients by diffusionreceives nutrients by diffusion. A . A „white zone”„white zone” injuries undergo rapid degeneration. The injuries undergo rapid degeneration. The medial meniscus is injured 20 times more medial meniscus is injured 20 times more often than the lateral due to its anatomical often than the lateral due to its anatomical characteristics. The partial or complete characteristics. The partial or complete rupture rupture („buckethandle”)(„buckethandle”) causes knee pain causes knee pain and may even cause knee immobility. Long-and may even cause knee immobility. Long-term injuries may cause loss of muscle mass as term injuries may cause loss of muscle mass as well as fluid collection in the joint.well as fluid collection in the joint.
