What to do about a meniscus injury in the knee, what to do about a meniscus injury in the knee? What

If you have a knee injury, don't be negligent because of a minor injury. You should go to a regular hospital for knee injury examination, as you get older, all aspects of your body have degenerated, and you should pay attention to the protection of the knee joint.

Hello! Knee joint and meniscus injuries are due to the large number of knee tendons and complex structure, and once damaged, it will lead to different degrees of severity.

The Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of Traditional Chinese Medicine first adopts traditional massage and tendon adjustment techniques to relieve pain and passively flex and stretch.

Then, external use of cool serum heat, blood stasis and swelling of traditional Chinese medicine, such as meniscus bone grass Zhengjin patch. And the affected area is properly bandaged and fixed to facilitate the repair of tendons. Take the medicine internally, to invigorate the blood and rejuvenate the new, and the camp to renew the tendons.

Tips: When exercising, you should also choose appropriate shoes, comfortable and elastic shoes, when exercising, can reduce the impact of exercise on the joints, and have a good protective effect on the joints.

Meniscus injury is difficult to recover from, and should be persisted due to poor blood circulation**.

It can be effectively massaged externally with Huimin Bureau's menstrual plate massage cream.

Usually pay attention to avoid strenuous exercise, cold, strain of the affected limb, etc., for knee effusion, generally use protective methods**, by reducing activity, reducing walking, local hot compress therapy of the knee joint can reduce symptoms. Pay attention not to be injured and reduce strenuous activities.

Meniscus damage is irreparable, in general, arthritis repair is required, my recommendation is to go to a regular hospital to check the MRI first, if it is above 12 degrees, you need surgery**, you must pay attention to rest, do not move for too long.

Problem analysis: Meniscus injury of the knee joint, synovial injury causes joint effusion. Knee pain and weakness are due to meniscus injuries and ligament injuries cannot be ruled out.

The effect of taking the medicine ** is poor, you can use external Chinese medicine ointment, small barge grass massage ointment, directly apply to the affected area, which is more conducive to the absorption of the drug and has a fast effect.

Advice: Try to rest as much as possible, avoid excessive weight-bearing, and excessive squatting.

If there is no locking symptom in the acute stage, the general plaster brace or brace is fixed for about 3 weeks, the pain is reduced or disappeared, and the exercise can be resumed, during which painkillers can be taken to strengthen the quadriceps muscle strength training to achieve healing. Stable longitudinal fissure of meniscus in the chronic phase, the tear is less than 10mm, or the non-full-thickness tear is mostly asymptomatic, and it can also be conservative**, such as the external application of traditional Chinese medicine plaster [Jiyutang Meniscus Jian Gu Shu Luo Patch], the Chinese medicinal ingredients can quickly penetrate the subcutaneous tissue, coupled with modern far-infrared physiotherapy technology, in which the far-infrared rays with a wavelength of 8-15 m are of great significance to human survival and health. Far infrared rays have a variety of biological effects such as dilating micro-capillaries, increasing blood flow to tissues, enhancing metabolic repair, and regulating body balance.

Far infrared rays have a biological effect on the human body, mainly cell activation. A series of positive biochemical and histochemical changes are undergo in the cells, so that the human body is in a good state of health and away from the discomfort caused by meniscus injury.

Hello, it is best to use Chinese medicine**. We use traditional Chinese medicine**, there is no risk, and it can be thorough**. Good luck soon**.

According to the distribution of meniscus injury, if there is an orthopedic department, it is recommended to go to the orthopedic outpatient department, if the orthopedic department is more detailed, related to the joint department, you can go to the joint surgery department. If you have a doctor specializing in sports medicine, it is recommended to go to the sports medicine clinic, but what kind of meniscus injury is still to be chosen according to the condition and symptoms of the injury.

Meniscus injuries can be taken conservatively** and surgically**.

Conservative**: For mild MRI I and II degree meniscal injuries, conservative**, Yong Gushun-Shitang-Meniscus patch can be performed to protect the laceration injured tissue, reduce pain and swelling, and restore muscle tone and range of motion. It can be carried out with external fixation methods such as bed rest, tubular cast, elastic bandage, compression bandage, knee support, etc., while avoiding falling to the ground or weight-bearing activities.

Hello, meniscus injury can not only think of pain relief to solve the problem, but also from the root to the recovery, when suspected meniscus injury, we can conduct our own examination, the first is to do knee hyperextension test, knee hyperflexion test, meniscus pop experiment, knee grinding test and knee gravity test for preliminary diagnosis, knee meniscus injury. External meniscus - -shu - luo - ping - pain - tie, to restore.

The second degree of meniscus is a mild injury, which can be conservative according to the clinical manifestations**, and pay attention to some bad habits in life and diet.

The role of the meniscus:

1) Deepen the concavity of the tibial condyle to accommodate the concavity of the femoral condyle and strengthen the stability of the joint.

2) Coordinate with the cruciate ligament to control and guide the mild spiral movement of the knee joint.

3) It is elastic, can withstand gravity and absorb oscillations.

4) Spread synovial fluid and lubricate the joints.

5) Nutritional status: the periphery of the meniscus is rich in blood vascularity, which can be repaired after injury; The body is vascular, and nutrition is made by synovial fluid**, which is difficult to repair after injury.

6) Medial meniscus: C-shaped, combined with the deep fibers of the medial collateral ligament. Lateral meniscus: O-shaped, with large range of motion.

7) Discoid meniscus: easily damaged. Lateral is more common.

How to treat meniscus injury.

Meniscus injury is mostly caused by torsional external force, when one leg is weight-bearing, the lower leg is fixed in semi-flexion, and when the outer booth is located, the body and femur are suddenly rotated inward, and the medial meniscus is between the femoral condyle and the tibia, which is subjected to rotational pressure, resulting in meniscus tear. After a meniscus injury, the knee joint has severe pain, cannot be straightened on its own, and the joint swells. Tenderness in the knee space is an important basis for meniscal injury.

It is more common in young people, such as ball players, miners, and porters. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is a tendon injury, which is mainly caused by fatigue, trauma, infection and other reasons to low immunity, deficiency of visceral function, wind, cold, dampness and evil qi invade the body's coagulation joints and meridians.

Meniscus Bone Grass Zhengjin Patch) can achieve the purpose of **, and the texture is mild, close to the skin, the active ingredients can quickly penetrate into the lesion site, play the role of invigorating qi and blood, relieving pain, and promote meniscus injury.

Knee meniscus injuries are mainly performed non-surgically**, and can be caused by acute injuries or chronic strain, and most of them are caused by trauma in young people. Meniscus injuries may occur in the anterior or posterior horns or at the base of the meniscus, and surgery is not recommended as long as there is no complete rupture or entrapment of the meniscus**.

The symptoms can be alleviated through conservative **, immobilization, rest, to avoid re-damage to the joint, to avoid new injuries on the basis of old injuries, and to allow the knee joint to get sufficient rest, which can be conducive to the healing of the meniscus. Through the method of functional exercise, the functional training of the quadriceps muscle is carried out, which increases muscle stability, helps to increase the stability of the knee joint, and avoids traumatic osteoarthritis caused by meniscus injury. At the same time, you can take the method of hot compress to promote local blood circulation, which is conducive to the dissolution of joint inflammation and pain, and only when necessary is to carry out knee arthroscopy and meniscus shaping surgery.

The meniscus injury of the knee joint is artificially divided into four degrees by magnetic resonance examination. The conservative approach includes avoiding further strenuous exercise, strengthening the muscle strength of the quadriceps muscles, and taking appropriate oral drugs to nourish chondrocytes to avoid further aggravation of the injury, and regular re-examination in the orthopedic clinic. Surgery may be considered in patients with magnetic resonance evaluation - if there are significant clinical symptoms consistent with imaging evaluation**.

The method of surgery is to suture, repair or plasty of the meniscus under arthroscopy, arthroscopic meniscus repair surgery is a mature technique, and the meniscus that can be sutured should be sutured as much as possible to restore the integrity of the meniscus. When the meniscus cannot be sutured with severe injury, it is done to maintain the integrity of the meniscus and avoid further enlargement of the rupture and friction of the broken meniscus against the cartilage, resulting in further loss of cartilage.

It can be used with traditional Chinese medicine to apply conservatively**, mainly to dispel cold and dampness.

The pharmacology of blood circulation and blood stasis is **.

1.Proper rest: Proper rest is important for patients with meniscal injuries in the early stages**, and bed rest is best if possible.

2.Immobilization**: For patients with meniscus edge tears, the affected knee should be fixed with a plaster cast or knee immobilizer, and when the patient regains active control of the limbs, the immobilizer can be removed, walking on crutches, and at the same time cooperating with traditional Chinese medicine to use Jingzhutang Bamiao ointment, the effect is certain, in most cases**.

Disease**1Acute phase.

If the joint is swollen obviously, indicating a lot of blood, the fluid can be withdrawn under strict aseptic operation, and the elastic bandage can be slightly pressurized and bandaged; If there is locking in the joint, you can try to go to a regular hospital to remove it. It is important to apply a cold compress** after the injury, and to rest with the affected limb elevated. Generally, long-legged external fixation is required to keep the affected knee in an upright position for 4-6 weeks, and external fixation can be a tube cast or a brace to ensure good shaping and reliable fixation.

Generally, after 4 weeks, you can walk partially under the protection of a brace, and gradually reach full weight-bearing. During this period, the quadriceps muscles should be actively exercised to prevent muscle atrophy. 2.

Chronic phase. In the chronic phase, a torn meniscus can damage other structures in the knee joint, causing traumatic arthritis. Therefore, a well-diagnosed meniscal injury should be operated on as soon as possible if non-surgical symptoms and signs are evident if the symptoms and signs are obvious**. The current conventional procedure is arthroscopic meniscus suture or partial resection.

Normal function can be restored 2 to 3 months after surgery.

Conservative**: First puncture and aspiration area effusion, then pressure bandaging, long tubular plaster support immobilization, local use of important external application to reduce swelling and relieve pain, and do functional exercises of quadriceps muscles after the pain is reduced.

Surgery**: After the above methods are ineffective, the meniscus tear should be removed as soon as possible to prevent traumatic arthritis in the future, and the functional exercise of the quadriceps muscle should be strengthened after the operation.

If it is not very serious, it can be relieved by topical medication, oral, physical ** and other methods; In severe cases, the artificial meniscus must be surgically repaired or even replaced. Truth be told, sorry!
