Abstract

The mechanisms of injury, methods of diagnosis, and management of meniscal and articular cartilage injuries of the knee are outlined. Emphasis is placed on early and accurate arthroscopic diagnosis and treatment. Partial meniscectomy or meniscal repair is the preferred treatment in the early stage. Lavage and debridement can be useful in degenerative arthritis at a later stage.
