Traumatic meniscus tears should be repaired, when possible, to protect the articular cartilage. Traumatic articular cartilage lesions can be treated with success using biological treatment options such as microfracture or microdrilling, autologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT), or osteochondral transplantation (OCT) depending on the depth and area of the lesion. Degenerative cartilage and meniscus lesions often occur together, and osteoarthritis is already present or impending. Most degenerative meniscus lesions should be treated first conservatively and, after failed conservative treatment, should undergo arthroscopic partial meniscus resection. Degenerative cartilage lesions should also be treated conservatively initially and then surgically; thereby treating the cartilage defect itself and also maintaining the axis of the leg if necessary. Tears of the meniscus roots are devastating injuries to the knee and should be repaired e.g. by transtibial re-fixation. The clinical role of \u2018ramp\u2019 lesions of the meniscus is still under investigation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2020;5:652-662.
