The meniscus is a rubbery piece of cartilage between the shin and thigh bone that acts as a shock absorber and cushion between these two bones. Each knee has 2 C shape menisci on either side of the knee. Any sudden movement such as a twist or turn can result in injury to the meniscus. A torn meniscus is one of the most common types of knee injuries. Athletes are more prone to meniscus injury because of the sudden movements required to play sports. A tear of the meniscus can result in significant pain, swelling, stiffness, or inability to fully straighten the knee. While sometimes treatment methods such as ice or rest can allow the meniscus to heal on its own, other times, more aggressive treatment options are required such as meniscus surgery to fully repair and heal a meniscus tear. Should you suffer a meniscus injury, expert and knowledgeable orthopedic specialists at AICA Orthopedics are here to help.

Symptoms of a Meniscus Injury
Knee pain can vary dramatically depending upon the type of injury. So how can you know if the problem lies within your meniscus? A meniscus tear often results in a popping sensation followed by significant swelling or stiffness. Movement such as twisting, turning, or straightening the knee results in pain. For some, it can feel as if the knee is locked into place when trying to move bend or straighten it. If you have suffered a knee injury accompanied by these symptoms, you will want to consult a medical professional right away. AICA Orthopedics knee specialists can assist you throughout the recovery process to ensure proper and complete healing.
About Meniscus Surgery
A meniscus repair surgery is most often performed arthroscopically with a scope. The knee surgeon will make a small incision in the knee to insert tubes that will hold the camera for a close up look at the meniscus damage as well as surgical instruments to perform the repair and correct the damage. This type of minimally invasive procedure allows for an easier and faster recovery. Post-surgery physical therapy can be part of the treatment plan to allow for a more complete healing process. Physical therapy will help to strengthen the injured knee, increase range of motion, and decrease pain. Your skilled physical therapist at AICA Orthopedics will provide specific exercises with the goal of obtaining proper knee strength and stability. Although this is a minimally invasive surgery, it can still take up to 6 months of rest and recovery before the knee is strong enough to resume normal physical activity, including returning to playing sports. Because of the expert care you will receive when you turn to our specialists at AICA Orthopedics, your knee will more than likely be significantly stronger than what it was even before meniscus surgery.

Yesterday was my last day at AICA College Park since my accident in December, there is so much to say about the people who work here and the level of customer service, care, attention, friendliness, and overall amazing atmosphere that they provide.
Location is perfect in College Park, right off the highway and in a small plaza with plenty of parking.
The entire staff, from the front desk girls, to the physical therapy girls, to the chiros, and the medical team are AMAZING! I feel like I just lost my friends not being able to visit them twice a week every week. I will definitely miss coming here. All the smiles and warm welcomes received. The physical therapy - asking about my day, if everything is okay and helping my back and neck get better. I had the pleasure of having Dr. Hector as my chiropractor, he is awesome, was very helpful in the healing process and also a native Spanish speaker which is a plus for those of us who do speak Spanish.
Before coming to AICA, I tried another injury clinic in ATL and walked out after 5 mins - so impersonal and cold. I am so glad that I found AICA in College Park.
Trust me, if you are injured and need some healing and TLC you NEED to come to this clinic! Highly recommend to everyone.
Thank you again to the guys and girls at AICA - xo Ms. Colon
