Abstract
Assessment of knee injuries is a common component of a busy orthopaedic practice. After critical evaluation, a number of patients will be found to have meniscal or ligament pathology. This article reviews the vital roles these structures play in normal knee function. In addition, the potentially deleterious effects of knee ligament and meniscal injuries are discussed, along with providing a rationale for the currently recommended treatment of these injuries.
