Does a third degree meniscus injury require surgery?

An MRI has just been done, and the results show degenerative disease of the right knee, 3rd degree injury to the anterior and posterior angles of the medial meniscus of the right knee, and a small effusion (no obvious ligament tear was seen).

Tell me about your specific condition.

Causes of meniscus injuries.

1. When the knee joint is flexed, the tibia is fixed, and the femur is strongly rotated, it can cause damage to the anterior angle of the lateral meniscus or the posterior angle of the medial meniscus.

2. Strong internal rotation of the femur (or external rotation of the lower leg) in the state of knee flexion is easy to cause injury to the posterior corner of the lateral meniscus or the anterior part of the medial meniscus. Long-term extrusion and wear can cause deterioration and tearing.

3. Abnormal loosening of the meniscus, instability of the joint ligament after injury, or obesity, excessive weight and other reasons are all factors that make the meniscus susceptible to injury.

4. Congenital discoid meniscus, affected by genetic factors, congenital discoid malformation, so there is more chance of 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. Menstrual analgesia patch is good at nourishing blood and activating blood, promoting local microcirculation, delivering nutrients to the synovial fluid in the joint cavity through local microcirculation, supplementing the nutrition of the affected tissues of the joint, and then repairing the damaged meniscus to achieve the purpose of meniscus injury. It has the effect of strengthening muscles and bones, this formula can repair the damaged meniscus, dredge the circulation of qi and blood, so that the liver and blood can nourish the muscles and veins, thereby enhancing the loading capacity of the meniscus tissue, and making the knee joint more firm and stable.

The occurrence of third-degree meniscus injury is very great for the patient's health, and if it is conservative, it usually does not have a good effect, so arthroscopy is generally used to repair part of the meniscus that can be repaired, and those that cannot be repaired may have to be removed.

For some people who prefer to do strenuous exercise, the chance of meniscus injury is very large, for this kind of injury, we must take advantage of the condition is not serious, as soon as possible, otherwise it may lead to some serious consequences, so that the patient can not work and live normally, then, what to do with the third degree of meniscus injury? Let's find out.

1. The hazard of meniscus injury.

In fact, if the meniscus injury reaches the third degree, it is already a serious injury. If the patient is not in time at this time, then it may lead to cartilage damage, and then lead to the injury, which will become more and more serious, and the final consequence may be to cause the patient to lose the ability to exercise.

However, not all patients with third-degree meniscus injury can be surgically surged, and only those who meet the requirements can be surgically surged. In the specific situation, it is necessary to make a judgment according to the professional doctor and student, and then be able to give professional advice.

Because the meniscus of the human body has been worn or acutely injured for a long time, and after the rupture of the meniscus, the patient's meniscus will partially or completely lose its previous function. It will even cause interference in the joints, and the symptoms of joint locking and popping will appear, which will affect the normal movement of the knee joint and bring inconvenience to the movement.

At the same time, patients will also have quadriceps atrophy, because the meniscus is damaged, the knee joint will be limited in motion, and over time, it will cause disuse atrophy.

2. Meniscus injury.

Patients with third-degree meniscus injury, in more serious cases, need surgery**, to prevent the occurrence of osteoarthritis, conservative ** effect is not obvious, it is generally recommended to take arthroscopy**, small trauma, fast recovery, some can be repaired with sutures, some patients, partial meniscus resection, pay attention to avoid torsion of external force.

Traumatic arthritis will occur if the meniscus of the knee is damaged in the third degree, and if it is properly surgical**, or conservative**, traumatic arthritis will occur, and we all know that arthritis is a cancer known as immortality, so it is necessary to protect the knee, especially in the case of third-degree injury, and to strengthen care.

For third-degree meniscus injury, you can consider doing strict conservative ** first, but the expectation should not be too high, because the injury pain is more serious, conservative** is difficult to achieve the effect, and most of them may eventually need surgery**. In the conservative time, it is necessary to strictly avoid weight-bearing of the affected limb, avoid re-injury to the meniscus, microwave physiotherapy, blood circulation and blood stasis drugs**, and nutritional drugs such as sodium hyaluronate can be injected into the joint cavity. After strict conservatism** after 4-6 weeks of no effect, knee arthroscopy can be considered**, and under knee arthroscopy**, meniscus injury repair can be selected first.

If the damage is severe and there is no way to repair it, menisoplasty can be done, but if the injury is more severe, the meniscus can only be removed.

If the meniscus is injured in the third degree, you can not consider surgery first, and do a strict conservative ** first. However, because the pain of the injury is severe, it is necessary to walk less, rest more, and try to avoid multiple injuries to the meniscus. When conservative**, microwave physiotherapy, blood circulation and blood stasis removal drugs**, and another is to inject sodium hyaluronate and other nutritional drugs in the joint cavity.

If there is no effect in the conservative ** half a year, you can consider doing knee arthroscopy**, if the meniscus injury can not be repaired, if the meniscus injury is very serious, the meniscus should be replaced.

If there is effusion, swelling and pain, do magnetic resonance examination to see if there is tendon damage on both sides of the knee joint, if so, it is recommended to use conservative Chinese medicine as soon as possible, with a large dose of high-temperature Chinese medicine, first do a course of treatment to see if it improves, if there is an improvement and then do 3-5 courses of treatment in a row, most patients can greatly improve or eliminate the symptoms.

If it really doesn't work, then surgery**.

In life, it is more common in the joints and muscles of the body or trauma, etc., and there are painful and uncomfortable manifestations of limited movement. Positive**, review on time**. Pay attention to rest in life, avoid tired and stay up late, reduce activities, eat a light diet to strengthen nutrition, supplement vitamins and trace elements, give anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving symptomatic treatment, and can also be assisted by traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and magnetic hyperthermia.

Surgical repair if necessary**.

Guangzhou Jinshazhou Orthopedic Hospital is good, it is the first in the local area, aside from the popularity, the doctors are all top-notch, and there is no comparison with others.

In the animated version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there are many polyphonic words mispronounced and typos, as well as words that do not conform to the times: for example, the word "Zen" of Liu Chan, the queen of the Shu Han Dynasty, should be pronounced "shàn" (corresponding to the word "seal" of Liu Bei Yizi Liu Feng, which means "Feng Zen"), but it is mispronounced as the polyphonic word "chán" in the animation; The character "猇" in the pavilion is mistakenly written as the word "tiger", etc.

Hello, the second degree injury of the meniscus is not serious and can be conservative**.

Meniscus daily taboos:

1. Walk less, avoid weight-bearing on the lower limbs, strengthen nutrition, pay attention to cold and warmth, and avoid strenuous exercise and overwork.

2. Avoid frequent stairs and stairs and squatting, avoid squatting for a long time, carry less heavy objects, avoid climbing mountains and stairs and walking for a long time. Choose the meniscus patch to prevent running, high jump, long jump and exercise with a large amount of exercise, and you can do a half-hour walk. before it can be treated.

3. Do not do the semi-flexion rotation of the knee joint to prevent meniscus injury.

4. When going up and down the stairs, you must concentrate and step steadily, and then move the second step to avoid trauma. Make the most of the tools at your disposal to help reduce the risk of accidental meniscus injury. If you are getting on and off the bus or going up and down stairs, don't be in a hurry, but use handrails to help stabilize your body before walking.

The meniscus is a cartilage tissue in the knee joint, which can cause pain, swelling, and joint locking after an injury. Knee arthroscopy can be used to determine the extent of the injury and**.

The meniscus is located in the knee joint of the human body, and its main role is to enhance the stability of the knee joint, as well as to play a cushioning role, if the meniscus is damaged, it will seriously affect the patient's normal mobility.

Meniscus injuries generally do not heal on their own, and it is better to be active, such as external use of Gu Shun Shitang, meniscus sticker, digging treasure and Jingdong official ***, usually pay more attention to rest, do not tired.

Causes of meniscus injuries.

Acute meniscal tears are usually due to the immobilization of the corresponding foot when the knee is flexed, and the change of direction is achieved by rotation or twisting of the knee. At this time, rotation, compression, and shear stresses act directly on the meniscus, and if the force is too high, it may cause the meniscus to tear. Meniscal tears are generally less common in children younger than 10 years of age.

Manifestations of meniscus injury.

The level of pain varies among patients with meniscal injuries. Most people are able to walk even when the meniscus tear is small, and knee swelling may occur within a day of the meniscus injury. Twisting or rotating can exacerbate the pain.

If the meniscus tear is severe, it is often accompanied by severe pain and initial limitation of knee motion.

2.Because the signs and symptoms of a torn meniscal are often not very specific, they may be difficult to localize when damaged. Meniscal tears are usually diagnosed by the patient's previous injury history and physical examination results, and can be confirmed by MRI and arthroscopy.

The performance of MRI is often related to the patient's age and the possibility of surgery. If a person has osteoarthritis in the knee with a damaged meniscus, MRI and arthroscopy are often not necessary.

3.In partial, anterior, and horizontal meniscus tears, the size and location of the tear may not cause abnormal signs, interfere with normal knee function, and are unlikely to injure the knee or cause mechanical locking.

Meniscus injuries are mainly caused by trauma or strain, and sports injuries are common. Clinically, it can manifest as knee pain, limited movement, obvious when walking, running, jumping, going up and down stairs, and some patients may have snapping or locking signs when the knee joint is flexed and extended. The first meniscus injury of the knee joint is mainly based on joint immobilization and rest, avoid excessive activity of the knee joint, and pay attention to the warmth of the knee joint.

Meniscus Injury**:

1. External fixation of plaster cast or brace.

2. After fixation, the lower limbs should be elevated, higher than the level of the heart, which can help reduce edema, avoid the formation of swelling, and help reduce the symptoms of pain.

3. Oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics to relieve local inflammation and reduce inflammatory pain and edema.

Fourth, choose external methods, such as Gu Shun Shitang Menstrual Plate Shuluo Ping Pain Patch, dig treasure and Jingdong official ***, don't overwork, or move forward with weight.

Precautions for meniscus injury:

Don't do strenuous exercise. Less stairs and less climbing. Keep your joints warm.

Avoid getting cold. Hot water can be used frequently. In addition to paying attention to the exercise posture and the intensity of the exercise, it is necessary to pay attention to sports protection, such as wearing knee braces and other joint protectors, strengthening the warmth of the joints, preventing accidental injuries, and making full use of the tools around you to help reduce the risk of meniscus injuries caused by accidents.

If you get on and off the bus or go up and down the stairs, don't be in a hurry, you can use the handrail to help stabilize the body and then walk.

Third-degree meniscus injury should be more serious, usually do not do strenuous exercise, do not let the legs bear too much weight.

1. It needs to be judged according to the medical condition.

In general, as long as the meniscus does not appear to be completely broken, surgery is not necessarily necessary. If it's just a tear, consider being conservative**. Such as physiotherapy, medicines, plasters, etc. **During this time, muscle building is also done to promote recovery.

21.Symptoms after an injury severely affect daily life, work, and sports.

2.Long-standing joint pain, limited movement, and severe pain when squatting.

3.After conservative **ineffective, medication and **training can not be relieved.

4.At the time of examination, there were no other causes of joint pain.

5.The meniscus is unstable during ligament reconstruction.

3Meniscus surgery** includes meniscus repair, subtotal meniscectomy, partial meniscectomy, total meniscectomy, and meniscus transplantation. Meniscus transplantation is not mature enough and requires further research.

4. Meniscus surgery has the advantages of less trauma, less risk, and the ability to carry out first-class training in the early postoperative period. After the surgery, the effect can be clearly felt, and the clinical symptoms can disappear quickly. However, because the meniscus cannot regenerate after injury, the loss of meniscus function can easily lead to osteoarthritis, which is a bad part of surgery in the long run.
