Can a Torn Meniscus Heal Itself? Exploring the Science Behind Natural RecoveryCan a Torn Meniscus Heal Itself? Exploring the Science Behind Natural Recovery
A torn meniscus, a frequent knee injury especially among athletes, occurs when the cartilage between the thigh and shin bone is damaged, typically from a twist or sudden movement. Common symptoms include pain, swelling, and reduced mobility. Diagnosis involves physical exams and MRI scans. Untreated meniscus tears can lead toA torn meniscus, a frequent knee injury especially among athletes, occurs when the cartilage between the thigh and shin bone is damaged, typically from a twist or sudden movement. Common symptoms include pain, swelling, and reduced mobility. Diagnosis involves physical exams and MRI scans. Untreated meniscus tears can lead to chronic knee pain, instability, and increased osteoarthritis risk. While some tears can heal naturally—especially on the outer edge with good blood supply—most require a combination of rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), and physical therapy. Surgery may be needed for severe or persistent cases. Prevention through strengthening exercises and proper sports techniques is key. Early intervention and correct management are critical for optimal knee recovery and long-term joint health.
