Description

In this episode of BoardsCast, we dive into the function, failure, and surgical decision-making around the meniscus — a structure that can make or break long-term stifle outcomes.

We cover:

• Meniscal anatomy and the unique role of the medial meniscus
• How hoop stress and load distribution maintain joint health
• The impact of cruciate rupture on meniscal mechanics
• Why meniscal injuries persist post-TPLO — and how to detect them
• Surgical approaches: partial meniscectomy, meniscal release, and what’s lost with each
• Board-focused insight on conservative management and long-term prognosis

If you’ve ever debated whether to cut, release, or leave it alone — this episode will help you understand what the meniscus really does, and how to protect it.
