title: Meniscal trauma (of the knee) and surgical intervention. A review of literature.
abstract: Through extensive reviews of literature, the semi-lunar cartilaginous discs (located within the tibiofemoral joint) will be examined with regard to their make-up, function, and response to trauma. Methods of diagnosing meniscal injury will be explored, as will past and present surgical procedures. An outlook into future methods of treating meniscal lesions will be touched upon.
