Abstract
Meniscal
injury or tearing is a common source of knee pain, disability,
limitation of function and interference with athletic &
recreation pursuits. The knee menisci were once thought to be
functionless remnants of leg muscles and expendable components of the
knee. The menisci are now known to play an important role in the
complex bio-mechanics of the knee. Management of patient with meniscal
injuries requires an appreciation of pathologic process, natural
history of problem and an understanding of crucial bio-mechanical role
played by the menisci. This case report projects the importance of
accelerated approach of early rehabilitation in terms of treatment
protocol.
