How easy is it to tear your meniscus? i am not going to do this. i was just wondering because my friend tore his yesterday but i saw him yesterday.

It depends: The meniscus in a young person is thick and strong like rubber. In an older person it thins out and the substance of it is not as strong. A young person needs a very high energy twisting type of injury. An older person might get the tear from walking or going up/down stairs or squatting. Not all tears are the same and small frayed edges (small tears) are more common than large.
