Treatment of Meniscal Injuries

Course overview

Treatment of individuals with meniscus pathology has evolved dramatically in the past 50 years. Much of the evolution has been driven by the arthroscope and advanced imaging that better elucidate lesions. We now address these pathologies through the lens of acute versus degenerative and discuss how to best address the presenting issue. This course will provide a context for the functional requirements that drive management of decision-making for both conservative and operative management (excision/partial/repair). The rehabilitative approaches are individualized to the specific operative or nonoperative sequence.
