A common injury in which forceful twisting causes certain tissue in the knee to tear. Meniscus tears are common in contact sports like football as well as noncontact sports requiring jumping and cutting such as volleyball and soccer. They can happen when a person changes direction suddenly while running, and often occur at the same time as other knee injuries, like an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Meniscus tears are a special risk for older athletes since the meniscus weakens with age.
Symptoms of a meniscus tear include: Pain in the knee
Swelling, A popping sensation during the injury,
Difficulty bending and straightening the leg
A tendency for your knee to get "stuck" or lock up.
