Methods of traditional Chinese medicine treatment for meniscus injury

Hello. Meniscus injury drugs** are not effective, if not timely**, it is easy to cause the destruction of articular cartilage and the formation of traumatic joints. It is recommended that you opt for arthroscopy**.

Knee arthroscopic meniscus surgery is the recommended surgical method for meniscus injury, the surgical trauma is small, the extent of the ruptured meniscus can be determined, and the secondary synovium, cartilage lesions, etc. can also be treated.

Good luck soon**!

Acupuncture can be tried** with great results.

There is no way to heal as quickly as possible.

The meniscal injury MRI scale is divided into five degrees:

0 degree (normal): The meniscus is morphologically normal, with a smooth and intact surface and a uniform low-signal area inside.

I degree (degenerative stage): normal morphology, smooth surface, flaky hyperintense area inside, less than 1 2 II degree of meniscus section (late degeneration): normal morphology and surface structure, internal hyperintense area greater than 1 2 of meniscus section, but not up to the articular surface.

degree (tear): longitudinal or diagonal or radial linear hyperintensity inside reaching the articular surface, normal or thinning of the meniscus morphology, and discontinuous surface.

Grade IV: Meniscus injury is multi-lumpy and dislodges into the joint cavity, the structure is partially or completely lost, and the local hyperintense area is obvious, all accompanied by moderate to severe proliferative osteoarthropathy and different degrees of articular cartilage damage.

Except for severe patients who need surgery, others can be conservative**, such as external application of Sheng's knee patch, swelling and pain relief, stagnation, tendon and bone, Tongli joints and other effects, can quickly eliminate swelling and pain, repair meniscus injury, **meniscus injury effect is significant.

1.Early diagnosis and treatment are timely, there is no large hematoma, the symptoms are not serious, such as no knee joint "stuck" and "locked", no quadriceps atrophy, middle-aged and elderly patients or doctors judge that patients do not need surgery according to MRI, they can do not need surgery. Some of these people are able to participate in sports like normal people, but after a year and a half to two years.

2.Athletes or sports enthusiasts who want to continue playing sports will generally recommend surgery, but surgery is not a simple matter, in addition to the high cost, the recovery process also requires personal scientific workouts. In addition, it is important not to know that the operation itself is a large wound with a regular pattern, and a small number of people will have a certain degree of restriction in knee joint function after surgery.

3.In daily life, it is important to anticipate the possibility of accidents and make 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 handrails to help stabilize your body and then walk.

4.In daily life, you can also add a massage, massage with a small barge grass massage cream massage, has a certain auxiliary effect on the situation, can promote **.

After meniscus injury, it is necessary to make a specific choice according to the degree of meniscus injury and the symptoms of the knee joint.

If the MRI shows that the meniscus is a first- or second-degree injury, and the patient's knee pain is not obvious, and there is no obvious sense of locking, in the early stage of the injury, a cast or external immobilization of a brace can be used. During immobilization, the affected limb should avoid walking, weight-bearing, and strenuous exercise.

If MRI shows a third-degree injury to the meniscus, and knee pain is significant, and there is a significant sense of locking, arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery is often required**.

The knee joint, the hub of movement between the thigh and calf, is the largest joint in the human body, formed by the lower end of the femur, the upper end of the tibia, and the patella (kneecap) in front of it. Sihuatang Meniscus Analgesia Patch for knee meniscus injury, starting from the overall concept of traditional Chinese medicine, in the case of knee meniscus injury, the main principles of reducing swelling and relieving pain, relaxing tendons and activating the muscles, strengthening muscles and bones, by improving the blood microcirculation in the affected area, supplementing the nutrition of surrounding tissues, so as to eliminate joint pain and swelling symptoms, strengthen joint flexion and extension function, and achieve the purpose of complete knee meniscus injury!

The inner and outer femoral condyles at the lower end of the femur are hemispherical, and when the knee joint moves, it rolls and slides on a smooth "platform" at the upper end of the tibia. In order to reduce friction and vibration and distribute the pressure evenly, there is a cartilage "spacer" between the articular surfaces of the two bones. The "spacer" is crescent-shaped, one on each side, like a small bracket, the "pad" is on the tibial platform, and is fixed with the joint capsule and surrounding tendons and ligaments, and can move slightly forward and backward or inside and outside with the movement of the knee joint.

The proper name of the "spacer" is meniscus. medial meniscus with thick outer margin and thin inner margin; The lateral meniscus is slightly smaller than the inner one, but fuller and shaped like the moon of the twelfth or third lunar calendar.

If in the acute injury period, immediately carry out a plaster cast or brace external fixation of the lower limbs for about 4 weeks, in order to eliminate the synovial inflammation of the joint, after examination and clear diagnosis, it is necessary to decide on different methods such as trimming, suturing or partial excision, and total excision according to the location, nature and scope of the injury under arthroscopy. After the meniscus is damaged, it is like a bad bead inside the bearing, which must be carried out**, otherwise it will wear out the joint.

Arthroscopic technique for meniscal injury**. Arthroscopic technique is a form of minimally invasive technique with little trauma and a good way to damage the meniscus. If arthroscopic minimally invasive suture surgery is taken, the postoperative should be carried out in accordance with a strict plan, different surgical methods, the time is also different, if the excision or partial excision or revision surgery is taken, you can go to the ground three days after the operation, and the surgical trauma reaction can be recovered after the subsidence.

The best way to treat meniscus injury is based on the patient's condition, so it is very necessary to have a preliminary diagnostic examination, so it is necessary to go to a regular hospital for a preliminary diagnostic examination.

The main mechanism of meniscus injury is that when the knee joint is semi-flexed, when the body weight passes through the joint, the force of grinding and cleavage occurs, and the meniscus is stuck between the femoral condyle and the tibial plateau, and the injury is caused by sudden straightening and rotation. It is commonly found in miners, porters, and basketball and football players, etc.

1. Marginal meniscus injury can be fixed with a plaster cast of the lower limb for 3 to 4 weeks, and pay attention to quadriceps exercise.

2. Meniscectomy was performed for those who were ineffective in conservative **.

3. Depending on the location and extent of the injury, the meniscus can be sutured and partially or completely resected under arthroscopy.

4. Restoring and regenerating the meniscus is the most ideal way to regenerate the meniscus for injury.

Hello, according to the situation you described, the commonly used drugs for meniscus injury are ketoprofen gel, blood invigorating pain relief capsules, etc.

If there is obvious effusion or blood in the joint, the effusion should be withdrawn under strict aseptic operation, and arthroscopic surgery can be less invasive and the recovery is fast.

Massage is the best method for the knee joint, you can go to the massage department of a big hospital to see it.

Analysis:

Most meniscus injuries are conservative**, but if they are more severe and limit the movement of the knee joint, some can also consider surgery**.

Guidance: You can rest for a month, walk less, if there is a joint effusion that needs to be active**, strengthen functional exercises in the later stage, and if it is more serious, arthroscopic surgery can be considered**, the specific situation is subject to the local orthopedic surgeon.

Meniscus injuries can occur in the anterior, posterior, middle, or marginal parts of the meniscus. According to the morphology of tears, they can be divided into: vertical longitudinal cracks, oblique cracks, radial cracks, horizontal cracks, barrel handle cracks or irregular tears, etc., and even broken into intra-articular loose bodies.

Rest more, move around less, eat more vegetables and fruits in the diet, don't drink cow and goat milk, eat more legumes, quit other tobacco and alcohol, don't be too tired, in the early stage of meniscus injury, the injured limb should be rested, elevated, and after the symptoms are reduced, move as soon as possible, exercise the quadriceps muscles, and restore the function of the knee joint.

I'm a retired athlete and I also have a meniscus injury. The doctor is right, there is no very effective way to treat meniscus injury, you must rest, usually reduce weight-bearing and strenuous exercise, avoid lateral stress on the knee joint, if you can't avoid having to move, then you must fully prepare for the activity before the activity, sufficient warm-up and preparation activities can avoid strangulation, but the pain will be aggravated after the activity. Every day, you can protect your knee by squatting (keeping your knee at 90 degrees and your upper body standing upright) to increase the strength of your patellar ligaments and cruciate ligaments.

In short, this injury is seven points of nourishment and three points of treatment.

Meniscus belongs to soft tissue, weak regeneration, after the injury will generally cause local swelling, pain, effusion, joint activity is prone to noise, difficulty in going up and down the stairs, etc., it is difficult to recover after the injury, if you do not get ** for a long time, the affected limb can not get normal activities for a long time, it will be easy to cause muscle atrophy, need to heal these damaged tissues, the affected limb can be normal activities, muscle atrophy can be gradually recovered.

Usually you should actively self-care and use the "Sheng's knee patch", pay attention to **, and exercise appropriately, such as swimming, cycling and other sports. Avoid incorrect posture and movements that are harmful to the joints, such as hiking, sleeping at the desk for long periods of time, etc. Protect joints and reduce weight-bearing, such as using knee braces on the knee joints and using supports when sitting and standing up for long periods of time.

When you are active, you can use crutches and walkers to assist you in moving or walking.

After a meniscus injury, athletes or sports enthusiasts who want to continue exercising are generally recommended surgery, but surgery is not a simple matter, in addition to the high cost, the process also requires personal scientific exercise. In addition, the surgery itself is a relatively regular trauma, and the function of the knee joint will be limited to a certain extent in a small number of people after surgery.

The posture and intensity of ordinary exercise should also pay attention to sports protection, such as wearing sports protective equipment during sports to prevent accidental injury.

(1) Use a large block to perform the local temperature method for 30 minutes.

2) Use a tool to gently knead the knees for 3 5 minutes.

3) Use a Sibin stone scraping board on the knees.

4) Hold the head on the knee for 3 5 minutes.

5) Use the stone cone to tap the acupuncture points such as the sea of blood, knee pass, knee eye, calf nose, Yangling Spring, Weizhong, Weiyang and other acupoints for 5 minutes, and it is advisable for the patient to feel pain and run.

6) Do auxiliary joint flexion and extension activities, and the strength should be gentle. Come to an end**.

After a meniscus injury, paleo-healing-remedy** can be used.

1.Acute 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. In fact, after meniscal injury, whether in the acute or chronic phase, it is recommended to apply external healing prescriptions to alleviate meniscus injury.

1.Hospital**Meniscal injury.

General orthopaedic hospitals** can only give patients general painkillers, anti-inflammatory injections, or fluid aspiration. Hit closed (glass.

Sodium acid), once or twice is OK, once it causes infection of the joint cavity for a long time, it will make the disease more difficult.

2.Use of physiotherapy methods such as cupping, acupuncture, and baking**Meniscus injury.

Acupuncture, cupping, acupuncture, massage and other physiotherapy methods play a role in invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, relaxing tendons and channels, but only assisting**; Meniscus injury is mainly due to aseptic inflammation of the joint, which cannot be fundamentally removed.

Bacterial inflammation. 3.Oral medication**Meniscal injury.

Oral medicine is the first choice for most patients after the disease, but the effect of taking oral drugs for meniscus injury is not ideal, mainly because oral drugs reach the lesion site through blood circulation, and the meniscus cartilage in the joint cavity belongs to non-vascular tissue, so the effect is minimal.

4.The best way to get a meniscus injury in Chinese medicine.

Traditional plaster: meniscus injury belongs to the category of aseptic inflammation, ordinary plaster can only play the role of blood circulation and blood stasis, can not eliminate aseptic inflammation, **meniscus injury is ineffective. "Gu Yu Fang" 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 load capacity of the meniscus tissue, making the knee joint more firm and stable, and no longer ** after healing.
