Dr. Eric Choudja Ouabo provides an overview of knee injuries in Switzerland, with a focus on meniscal tears. He explains the risks of osteoarthritis after meniscectomy.

Dr. Vallotton explains the fundamental role of the meniscus in the biomechanical balance of the knee. He uses clear analogies to show how meniscal tears disrupt joint stability and shock absorption.
