@doctorsood: Have you ever tried this kind of knee test at home? The Thessaly test is a weight-bearing maneuver designed to reproduce symptoms like joint-line pain, catching, or locking by loading and rotating the meniscus. It can help raise suspicion for a tear, especially when the history fits. However, it’s only a screening tool. It has limited accuracy on its own and cannot confirm or rule out a meniscal injury.

How likely do i have tear? Dr said could be one or both meniscous Explain notes Examination shows mild effusion present. She is
tender with compression manipulation of the patella. She is tender at both the medial and lateral
joint lines. The exam is limited today secondary to symptoms. She lacks about 3 degrees of
full extension. Flexion is limited to about 90 degrees. She has pain with both medial and lateral
McMurray's testing. Ligaments are stable. Neurovascular examination is intact.
X-rays:
Bilaterally, PA, retrograde and lateral view of the left knee were obtained in the office today and
independently reviewed and interpreted. These do show some mild patellofemoral degenerative
changes of both knees. No acute bony injury.
Impression:
1. Left knee injury with possible medial or lateral meniscus tear.
2. Mild patellofemoral osteoarthritis, left knee.

I didn't have to do that test. I just heard a Champagne 🍾 POP after stepping off a step and I couldn't move after because it was so painful. The MRI showed a torn meniscus and injured ACL. This happed in Dec and STILL not healed today after months of therapy. That meniscus tear is NO JOKE. 🥹

My hubby tripped on my lower leg (I was sitting on the ground like on my hip) sent my leg twisting inwards and there was a loud pop we both heard and immediate pain from inner knee to hip area. Would this be a meniscus tear? @DoctorSood, M.D.

for me, i just have it on the outside of my knee but pointing toward my other leg, whatever that side is, and sometimes my leg might lock up if i dont walk carefully, kinda painful when moving it up and down while sitting, but when walking barely any pain just careful so it doesnt lock, because thats how the injury happened, no swelling

before my mom had knee surgery, she went to the doctor because she was walking a bit funny. when they looked at her knee there was absolutely no cartilage, and they were asking how she was able to walk to begin with, without feeling any pain.
