In this video you'll learn the 3 reasons why bucket handle meniscus tears require urgent attention - the sooner the better.
Dr. Erin Boynton has been an orthopaedic surgeon for 30 years, worked for MLB's Toronto Blue Jays for 10 years as their team surgeon and is the current Medical Director of the Rogers Cup WTA Tennis Tournament so she has expertise with athletes and people who love and need to move!
Whether you've been diagnosed with one or not, if you injured your knee and have trouble fully straightening it out or it catches or locks when you walk, you need to take care of it ASAP.
If you have a bucket handle meniscus tear and you do get surgery, then you'll want to get started on your rehab ASAP - Dr. Boynton often had meniscus patients doing specific exercises before they left the hospital.
