The articular cartilage never ceases to amaze me. Even on a cadaver, with all the chemicals involved, you can get a glimpse on how smooth and lubricated it is.

Thanks for bringing these videos to us. Being both naturally curious and medically complicated, I've learned a lot.

This information is so valuable to me personally because 2 years ago I actually blew my knee out because my knee joint had actually pinched the meniscus tissue, making it impossible to bend or extend without SEVERE pain. All I did was extend my leg while sat down, and brought my leg back close to myself, I felt some kind of tension building and then it locked up entirely. I still have issues today and my doctor told me it was just something I would have to deal with by using physio techniques. It's so interesting to see what could've actually happened inside my knee, thank you for this!!

The most painful injury I’ve ever had. I chose not to do surgery and it’s actually healed pretty good.

Tore mine almost in hal. Doc did his best to fix it but it ripped in half while I was still wearing a brace. A year later full knee replacement at 52. Still think it was a good decision 2 years later. No regrets. This was very cool to see.

Relevant. I'm recovering from a tear right now and hoping to avoid sugery

❤❤❤in college I was a science major. I took Anatomy, Physiology, chemistry…all the science classes. The college had its own morgue, so we got to dissect real cadavers. It was interesting but at the same time sad to think that these bodies once had life and lives and to wonder also, why or how they died😢

MCL and ACL tear is so painful that I thought I will not get over. Gave me depression. I was told that they harvested a ligament that it’s not enough to repair the torn so they had to harvest again from somewhere. Even though it healed, pretty long. If you look hard enough, you’ll notice that my legs are not the same. Thank you for showing us what it looks like.

I've torn my meniscus on both knees. Each time I let them heal on their own. One took longer than the other but both healed and I'm still playing two man beach volleyball at age 60.

I've torn one on each knee. 🙃 Had to go with option #2 both times, because apparently when I do things, I do them thoroughly. Both were torn pretty much the whole way through.

I usually just die and respawn at my last save point and everything is back to working order.

How does it snipping out help? Thanks for the great videos!

I had a torn meniscus on my right knee from a fall. By the time i convinced the dr to do a scope it was bone on bone. Fun fact, 50% of torn meniscus do not show on an mri. I opted for a partial knee replacement but the doc who did the surgery must have been over confident because he botched it. 2 years later his partner did the one test he didn’t and found one ligament was cut way to short and one was left long. Sadly, the revision surgery could only do so much. It’s been about 16 years of daily pain now and I’m not certain a total replacement would make anything better.
