    Re: Medial Meniscus Partial Displacement?

    Is quite common some feel that they torn it and present some sign and symptoms. Can you clarify with what you mean A P and R ROM you are reffering tool. Try some A.R.T. techniques or refer him to an ART provider

    Re: Medial Meniscus Partial Displacement?

    Thanks for your reply!

    A P and R stand for Active, Passive and Resisted Ranges of Movement. My friend who has had the samething had a Wikipedia reference-linkMRI Scan which showed no signs of any tears.

    Is it possible that the knee has become slightly unstable, enough for there to be space for the medial Wikipedia reference-linkmeniscus to partially be out of the joint capsule? I can't understand how this can be!?

    It may become loose due to muscle imbalance or due the protective body mechanism to further injury.
    Finaly the Wikipedia reference-linkmeniscus gets stuck due to fibrosis as they move along (we talking a sligth movement) to extension and flexion to provide the appropiate contact throughout the motion.
    Further that happens as a result of poor biomechanics.
