Cystic meniscus - what does this mean
Cystic meniscus is a condition in which cysts form on the surface of the meniscus, a cartilage structure in the knee joint. these cysts are usually caused by trauma or degeneration of the meniscus, and can cause pain, swelling, and decreased range of motion in the affected knee.
What happens during the disease - cystic meniscus
Cystic meniscus is a condition caused by the accumulation of fluid in the meniscus, the fibrous cartilage that cushions the knee joint. this fluid accumulation is usually the result of a tear or injury to the meniscus, which can cause the joint to become unstable and lead to inflammation, pain, and swelling. in some cases, the fluid accumulation can also lead to cyst formation, which can further weaken the meniscus and cause further damage to the joint.
