In this video, Dr. John Taliaferro, an orthopedic surgeon at EmergeOrtho, talks about a common #kneeinjury called a meniscal root tear.

🦵 The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage in your #knee that helps cushion and protect your joint. A root tear happens when the back part of the meniscus tears away from the bone.

👥 This injury can happen in young athletes, weekend warriors, or adults in their 40s and 50s. It’s more common than doctors used to think.

🛠️ The good news? Instead of removing the torn part, surgeons can now repair it. This helps with pain and also helps prevent arthritis later on.

Watch to learn how this injury is treated and how we help people get back to doing what they love.
