As the largest and most active joint in the body, the knee bears an immense pressure of intense everyday activities that makes it susceptible to severe injuries. A torn meniscus is an extremely common knee injury that is caused by a twist or a quick turn, or by lifting something heavy or playing a heavy sport that places pressure on the knee. The torn meniscus also occurs in older people as a result of the aging process. The treatment for torn meniscus depends on the severity of the tear. While minor and moderate tears can be successfully treated with rest, ice, elastic bandage for the knee, and physical therapy, severe tears usually require a surgery in order to repair or remove the damaged meniscus. torn meniscus Dr. Armin Tehrany, one of the best orthopedic doctors and surgeons in New York, has a remarkable record of successful surgeries for a torn meniscus.

I would highly recommend him!”
