The knee that clicks, catches and swells: A runner’s guide to meniscus tears
A meniscus tear is damage to the C-shaped cartilage that cushions the knee joint, common in runners from twisting on uneven terrain or from gradual, age-related wear. Warning signs include joint-line pain, swelling hours after a run, clicking, and a knee that catches or locks. Many tears, especially degenerative ones, respond well to rest and a structured strength program; surgery is typically reserved for locking, unstable, or persistent tears.
