A member asked:
What are the symptoms of a grind test? having a menisal roo displacement mean that the meniscus is torn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually: The "grind" is a test typically with the patient laying on their belly and knee bent and the doctor presses down on the foot while grinding the knee. It is a simple aid and is not an absolute diagnosis. Occasionally a cartilage can roll but typically a displacement is from a tear.
