What happens during the disease - derangement of meniscus due to old tear or injury

The pathogenesis of derangement of meniscus due to old tear or injury is usually due to the weakening of the meniscus tissue over time, leading to its inability to effectively absorb shock and distribute weight evenly throughout the knee joint. this can cause the meniscus to become misaligned, leading to pain, swelling, and instability in the knee joint. in some cases, the tear or injury may also cause further damage to the surrounding cartilage, leading to further degeneration of the knee joint.
