The meniscus cushions the knee joint and helps distribute load. Tears may occur from sudden twisting or gradual degeneration over time. Symptoms can include pain, swelling, catching, or locking.
Compression & Stability
Compression sleeves may help manage swelling and improve comfort. Hinged braces can provide additional stability if the knee feels unstable during walking or activity.
Post-Op & Conservative Care
Some meniscus tears are managed without surgery, while others require arthroscopic repair or trimming. Bracing may be used during recovery phases to support controlled movement.
Prescription & Tax Exemption (When Applicable)
Some medical knee braces and supports may qualify as tax-exempt with a valid prescription in Canada. If you have a prescription, you can submit it for review and tax-exempt processing where eligible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a meniscus tear?
A meniscus tear is damage to the cartilage that cushions and stabilizes the knee joint. It commonly occurs from twisting movements or sports-related pivoting.
What type of knee brace is best for a meniscus tear?
Mild irritation may respond well to compression sleeves, while instability or more significant tears often benefit from a hinged knee brace.
Can I walk with a meniscus tear?
Many people can walk, but symptoms such as pain, swelling, or locking may limit activity. A brace can provide added support during daily movement.

A brace does not heal the tear itself, but it can reduce strain and improve comfort during the recovery process.
How long does a meniscus injury take to heal?
Recovery time varies depending on tear type and treatment. Conservative management may take weeks, while surgical recovery can take several months.
