ABSTRACT

Most knee joint injuries and those attributed to sports, are the result of a poorly developed technical skill, or performing physical activity in an inappropriate environment, being in the least cases of accidental happenstance. With the development of science applied to sport, injuries can become predictable and preventable. However, in sports accidents knee remains a sensitive anatomical site, and have functional limiting consequences if not clinically treated immediately before any post-traumatic pathological evidence. The failure or a broken meniscus segment requires a large mechanical load to break histological truss and once the rupture or detachment of a fragment of the meniscus occurs, it will determine manifestations of functional disability in the knee. The main objective for the proper treatment to a meniscal tear is to restore proper joint mechanics, to promptly recover the ability to perform professional, recreational or amateur sport; and in the future avoid early arthrosis.
