Aymeric Laporte's lateral meniscus tear: Explaining the injury and why he dodged a major bullet
Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte sustained a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee on August 30 against Brighton, requiring surgery. This video details the injury, surgery, and recovery timeline, emphasizing that Laporte likely avoided a career-threatening situation. The meniscus is a crucial cartilage in the knee, and lateral meniscus tears, though rarer than medial ones, often result from direct trauma. Surgery was deemed necessary, with two options: meniscectomy (removal) or meniscus repair. Laporte had a repair, which has a longer recovery time (around 5.6 months) compared to meniscectomy (six weeks) but offers better long-term outcomes. The video explains the anatomical and biomechanical differences between the lateral and medial knee compartments, highlighting the importance of the meniscus in stability and stress absorption. Laporte's repair is expected to allow a return to high-level function without significant long-term issues. Meanwhile, Manchester City faces challenges with center-back depth due to additional injuries.
