Meniscus injuries occur when the C-shaped cartilage discs in the knee, known as menisci, sustain damage due to twisting motions or direct impact. Common symptoms include pain, swelling, and potential sensations of locking or catching in the knee, with the severity of the injury determining the appropriate management approach.

For managing meniscus injuries, individuals may use knee sleeves or braces designed to provide support and stability to the knee joint. These products can help reduce strain on the injured meniscus and assist in maintaining proper alignment during daily activities.
