Bourne classification

The Bourne classification is a system used to categorize different types of medial meniscus tears in the knee. It helps healthcare providers determine the severity and location of the tear, which can guide treatment decisions. The classification divides tears into specific types based on their pattern, such as horizontal, vertical, or complex tears. Each type has its implications for healing and recovery. Understanding this classification assists in diagnosing the issue accurately and developing a tailored treatment plan for optimal patient outcomes.
