9Knee Trauma
In addition to physical activities, many cases of torn meniscus would occur after knee trauma. For instance, a car accident, a missing step on the staircase, or a fall from a high position would exert a sudden twist or rotation on this part and tear it. Depending on the affected area, the level of severity and size can vary. These would range from a slight tear in the tissue fibers to a severe tear and detachment. To lower the risk, it is important to put on protective gear when you work or perform tasks involving your knees. [9]
