• #1 Meniscus Tear: Pathology, Incidence, and Management

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9205760/

  Meniscus tears are a common orthopedic pathology and planning a single, effective treatment is challenging. […] The incidence of meniscal tears is estimated to be 60 per 100,000 population approximately and the incidence of meniscal-related injuries is rising significantly due to increased sports participation and advanced diagnostic tools. […] This made meniscus surgery one of the most common orthopedic operations with an incidence of 17 procedures per 100,000 in the United States. […] Studies found that patients with meniscal injuries have hastened cartilage wear, which predisposes them to early degenerative changes and poor long-term function. […] In fact, more than 75% of patients with symptomatic osteoarthritis have known meniscal injuries. […] The prevalence of meniscal tears is approximately 12% to 14%, with an approximate incidence of 61 cases in every 100000 people.

  The incidence of meniscal injuries is increasing and this can be partly attributed to increased participation in sports as well as the recent advances and easy availability of imaging technology such as MRI. […] A conservative estimate of the incidence of meniscal tears is 60 per 100,000, although the true incidence is likely to be grossly underestimated. […] Incidental meniscal findings on MRI scan of the knee are common in the general population and increase with increasing age: in one study of almost 1,000 people, 61% had meniscal tears on MRI but had no knee symptoms in the previous month. […] In young adults, knee injury increases the risk of future diagnosed knee osteoarthritis about six-fold with highest risks found after cruciate ligament injury, meniscal tear and intra-articular fracture. […] Knees with known meniscal injury have accelerated cartilage wear, leading to early onset osteoarthritis. One study found that more than 75% of patients with symptomatic osteoarthritis have a meniscal injury.

• #9 Knee Meniscal Tears – StatPearls – NCBI Bookshelf

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK431067/

  Studies in the United States have indicated a 61 per 100,000 incidence rate of meniscal tears in the general population and up to an 8.7 per 1,000 incidence rate in the active-duty military population. […] Given the etiology of tears, it is not surprising that infantry-related duties, occupations that require frequent squatting/kneeling, and sports such as soccer, rugby, football, basketball, baseball, skiing, and wrestling all increase the risk of meniscal tears. […] Male gender and age over 40y/o are also associated with increased risk of meniscal tears. […] Medial meniscal tears are more common than lateral meniscal tears, possibly due to the relatively decreased mobility of the medial meniscus secondary to its connection to the MCL. […] In addition, people with ACL-deficient knees are more at risk for the development of medial meniscal tears, especially if ACL reconstruction is delayed for longer than one year from the time of initial injury.

• #12 Meniscal tear Presentation, diagnosis and management

  https://www.racgp.org.au/afp/2012/april/meniscal-tear

  Meniscal tears occur due to a shear force between the femur and tibia. Meniscal tear incidence may be as high as six per 1000 population with a 2.5 to 4 times male predominance. Age of injury peaks at 20-29 years. […] The medial meniscus is more frequently torn, partly because of this different shape but also because of its attachment to the medial collateral ligament, whereas the lateral is pulled out of the way of compression between femur and tibia by politeus. […] Partial meniscectomy (removal of the torn section) is one of the most commonly performed orthopaedic surgical procedures. […] As the risk of osteoarthritis is increased if meniscal structures are not optimally functional, it may also be appropriate to refer all young patients for opinion if symptoms do not rapidly improve.

• #13 Meniscus tear – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meniscus_tear

  The meniscal tear is the most common knee injury. It tends to be more frequent in sports that have rough contact or pivoting sports such as soccer. It is more common in males than females, with a ratio of about two and a half males to one female. Males between the ages of 31 and 40 tend to tear their meniscus more frequently than younger men. Females seem to be more likely to tear their meniscus between the ages of 11 and 20. […] People who work in physically demanding jobs such as construction or professional sports are more at risk of a meniscal tear because of the different stresses to which their knees are subjected. […] According to the United States National Library of Medicine, the isolated medial meniscal tear occurs more frequently than any other tear associated with the meniscus. The prevalence of meniscus tears is the same for both knees.

• #18 Meniscus Tear in Knee: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatments

  https://www.webmd.com/pain-management/knee-pain/meniscus-tear-injury

  Like a lot of knee injuries, a meniscus tear can be painful and debilitating. Unfortunately, it’s quite common. In fact, a meniscal tear is one of the most frequently occurring cartilage injuries of the knee. […] More than 40% of people 70 or older have had a torn meniscus. […] Tears are more common in the medial rather than in the lateral meniscus, perhaps because of this lack of mobility. […] About 28% of all medial meniscus tears fall into this category. […] For 85% to 90% of people who get the surgery for a meniscus tear, the short-term results are good to excellent. But in the long term, people who have a large meniscal injury that is unrepairable may be at a higher risk of getting knee arthritis. […] Meniscus tears are very common knee injuries, particularly for athletes.

[…] Meniscal injuries are rare in children younger than 10 years with morphologically normal menisci. […] Meniscal injuries usually are associated with pain that results in gait deviation and loss of time from work and/or sport. […] A study by Yasuda et al suggested that medial meniscus tears cause spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee (SONK). […] Meniscal injuries are more common in males, which may be a reflection of greater involvement by males in aggressive sporting and manual activities that predispose to rotational injuries of the knee. […] Meniscal injuries are common in young males who are involved in sporting or manual activities.

  Meniscus tears are among the most common knee injuries. Athletes, particularly those who play contact sports, are at risk for meniscus tears. However, anyone at any age can tear the meniscus. When people talk about torn cartilage in the knee, they are usually referring to a torn meniscus. […] Sports-related meniscus injuries often occur along with other knee injuries, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. […] As people age, they are more likely to have degenerative meniscus tears. Aged, worn tissue is more prone to tears. An awkward twist when getting up from a chair may be enough to cause a tear in an aging meniscus. […] Meniscus tears are extremely common knee injuries. With proper diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation, patients often return to their pre-injury abilities. […] To assist doctors in the management of meniscus injuries, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons has conducted research to provide some useful guidelines.

  The meniscal tear is the most common knee injury. It tends to be more frequent in sports that have rough contact or pivoting sports such as soccer. It is more common in males than females, with a ratio of about two and a half males to one female. Males between the ages of 31 and 40 tend to tear their meniscus more frequently than younger men. Females seem to be more likely to tear their meniscus between the ages of 11 and 20. […] People who work in physically demanding jobs such as construction or professional sports are more at risk of a meniscal tear because of the different stresses to which their knees are subjected. […] According to the United States National Library of Medicine, the isolated medial meniscal tear occurs more frequently than any other tear associated with the meniscus. The prevalence of meniscus tears is the same for both knees.
