Knee Health Core Meniscal Cartilage Damage Introduces Treatment on YouTube at Himchan Hospital
Jun 13, 2025
Himchan Hospital announces everything about meniscus cartilage, which plays an important role in the knee, through the official YouTube content .
In the first episode, which was released on the 13th, Lee Soo-chan and Ryu Seung-yeol detailed the exact location and role of the meniscus cartilage and problems that may arise in case of damage. In the case of patients who visit the hospital due to knee pain, most of them are meniscus cartilage damage if they are diagnosed with cartilage damage by a doctor.
The meniscus cartilage is a tissue located between the femur (thigh bone) and the tibia (calf bone) and performs a key function of effectively dispersing weight, absorbing shock, increasing stability of knee joints and protecting joint cartilage. Like its name, it is called meniscus cartilage because it resembles a meniscus. Because meniscus cartilage is small but plays an important role, special care should be taken as it can progress to degenerative arthritis if damaged, torn, or weakened by degenerative changes.
The sequentially released follow-up will cover in-depth the specific causes of meniscus cartilage damage, symptoms, pain patterns, and why there are more female patients. In addition, it introduces methods to prevent cartilage damage, as well as conservative treatments and surgical treatments that can be applied when meniscus cartilage is damaged.
Ryu Seung-yeol, head of the orthopedic clinic at Himchan Hospital, said, "Mannic cartilage can be easily torn even by small trauma due to aging in middle-aged people, and even young people in their 20s and 40s who enjoy intense sports are likely to be damaged. If you have severe pain and swelling in your knees and feel that your knees are not fully stretched when you creak or bend and stretch, you should definitely get a diagnosis."
