Knee Ligament & Meniscus Injury – Diagnosis and Advanced Treatment

Knee ligament and meniscus injuries are among the most common causes of knee pain, especially in athletes, active individuals, and elderly patients. These injuries can occur due to sudden twisting, sports trauma, falls, road accidents, or degenerative changes in the knee joint. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are essential to prevent long-term knee damage and arthritis.

Our orthopedic team specializes in the accurate diagnosis, non-surgical management, and advanced arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery for knee ligament and meniscus injuries, helping patients return to daily activities and sports safely.

What are Knee Ligament Injuries?

Knee stability depends on four major ligaments:

  • ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament)
  • PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament)
  • MCL (Medial Collateral Ligament)
  • LCL (Lateral Collateral Ligament)

Ligament injury usually occurs due to:

  • sudden twisting of the knee
  • sports like football, basketball, kabaddi, cricket
  • direct blow during road traffic accidents
  • jumping and improper landing

Symptoms include knee pain, swelling, instability, difficulty walking, locking or giving way of the knee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ligament injuries affect the stabilizing bands of tissue in the knee, while meniscus injuries involve the cartilage cushion that absorbs shock in the joint. Both can occur together after twisting or sports injuries.

Common symptoms include pain, swelling, knee instability, clicking/locking, difficulty walking, and inability to fully bend or straighten the knee.

No. Minor or partial tears can often be treated with rest, medication, bracing, and physiotherapy. Surgery is recommended for complete tears, persistent pain, locking, or knee instability.

Diagnosis is made using clinical examination, X-ray to rule out fracture, and MRI to confirm ligament or meniscus damage.

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure using small cuts and a camera to repair or reconstruct damaged ligaments or meniscus with faster recovery and less pain.
