How do i know if i tore my meniscus or dislocate dmy knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Where does it hurt: A torn meniscus usually causes catching, locking or buckling sensation to the knee. It usually occurs after a twisting injury. Many people have some significant swelling. An MRI is the best test to diagnose this.
