Knee cartilage tears occur when the cartilage in the knee is damaged, usually caused by gradual wear and tear or a forceful twisting of the knee during contact sports.
With a torn knee cartilage, audible clicking or popping sounds may be heard with movement, and are accompanied by stiffness, pain, swelling and tenderness in the knee.
To treat knee cartilage tears, surgical repair of the knee cartilage via a minimally invasive approach is recommended. This procedure involves suturing the torn pieces together or replacing the torn cartilage with a healthy transplant to restore cartilage function and improve joint mobility.
