If you have suffered from knee pain after a sports injury, it is important to see a doctor or orthopedic specialist for an evaluation. A torn meniscus is one possible cause of knee pain and can be diagnosed through imaging tests such as MRI.

If you are diagnosed with a torn meniscus, arthroscopic surgery may be a treatment option. This procedure involves making small incisions in the knee and using an arthroscope to visualize and repair the torn meniscus. It is a minimally invasive procedure and typically results in less pain, faster recovery, and better outcomes compared to traditional open surgery.
