Could i have a torn meniscus if i fell playing tennis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Tennis is certainly a likely method for getting a meniscus tear. Typically a twisting or squatting knee motion is more likely to cause a meniscus tear. The other way to get meniscus tears is in situations where the knee is already unstable such as after an acl tear.
