movements like running, turning, or jumping. A tear occurs when this cartilage is damaged,
often during sports or accidents. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons,
over 500,000 meniscus tears occur annually, with athletes in sports like cricket, football, and
basketball at higher risk due to dynamic movements. Meniscus injuries are common among
young athletes and weekend warriors.
Each tear type requires specific meniscus tear treatment, which Amicare customizes to your lifestyle, whether you’re an athlete or an active professional.
