A meniscus tear occurs due to knee joint trauma, especially due to sporting injuries and/or chronic osteoarthritis. The natural healing of soft tissue around joints is one of the slowest in the human body as ligaments and tendons take months to heal and can be more prone to tear or sprain if healed improperly.

Obesity can also directly damage the cartilaginous disc at the joint cavity which locks the joint. This will induce progressive inflammation and damage.

If left untreated, a meniscus tear condition can deteriorate due to the pressure on the injured joint from daily activities.

Certain minimally invasive treatments and plasma injections we offer at Montreal International Clinics, along with reducing body weight can heal the join and avoid the need for surgery for meniscus excision or the need for endoscopic repair.
