Knee Injuries Diagnosis

Dr. Keith Hechtman, Orthopedic Surgeon with Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute, explains how he diagnoses a knee injury. He affirms it is a combination of different things: listening to the patients, x-rays and physical exam. The meniscus is located between two bones. Frequently if they’re going to have pain, it would be by the joint line, he says.
