How's it goin?
In today's episode I am discussing the differences between an acute meniscus tear and degenerative meniscus tears.

Understanding Meniscus Tears: Acute vs. Degenerative
Acute Meniscus Tears

• Symptoms
• Causes - plant and twist

Degenerative Meniscus Tears

• Symptoms
• Causes - wear and tear, repetitive motions, jobs requiring deep squatting
• Answer: Does pain correlate to the degree or level of meniscus degeneration?
