Meniscus injuries are recognized as critical to knee joint function and mobility. This paper examines different diagnostic and treatment strategies for meniscal injuries. Technological advancements such as MRI and arthroscopies, alongside physical diagnostic tests like the Apley test, have significantly improved the accuracy of diagnosis. Treatment depends on severity and individual needs, ranging from conservative management to surgery like meniscectomies or meniscus repairs. Research shows that accelerated rehabilitation may be effective in certain conditions, but standard protocols are being developed. This study uses recent findings and patient outcome data to emphasize the importance of diagnostic and treatment methods in managing meniscus injuries.
