What is the treatment method for meniscus injuries in the knee?

The fibrocartilage tissue of the meniscus, which exhibits a wedge-shaped periphery of the thick, thin inner edge, from a plane of the meniscus to the point of the meniscus is filled between the femoral and tibial condyles, and has the effect of enhancing the stabilization of the knee joint. Characteristics The structure and function of the meniscus tissue dictate that it is one of the most fragile knee injuries. Workers engaged in strenuous sports and special occupations, the probability of superior meniscus injury.

Non-surgical****, including bed rest, aspiration of intra-articular effusion, compression and bandaging with elastic bandages, and plaster casts to immobilize and strengthen the quadriceps muscles and external application of [Meniscus Bone Grass Zhengjin Patch].

1. The patient lies on his back, and the doctor applies the lower edge of the patella and patellar tendon ligament between the sides of the normal direction to pay for the soreness.

2. Roll the knee and around, mainly at the patella and quadriceps, about 5 minutes at the upper and lower edges, then shake the knee joint (internal and external rotation after the first flexion).

3. Eye rubbing knees, knees Yang estimating amine, Ququan, Heding mountain wind points, to soreness as the degree.

4. Rub the affected area, with diathermy as the degree, with damp heat.

There are two types of meniscus injuries: surgical and non-surgical, and for small tears in the vascular area, external fixation and immobilization such as plaster casts and knee braces can be used. All other tears require surgery**, and in general, most meniscus tears that cause symptoms require surgery**.

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.

**Guidelines, the injured meniscus should be surgically removed as soon as possible on the basis of diagnosis, or part of the meniscus should be removed arthroscopically to prevent the development of traumatic arthritis. Surgery**, arthroscopy can be used for meniscus injuries. A torn meniscus edge can be repaired with sutures.

A partial meniscus removal is usually performed, leaving the intact part. Emergency arthroscopic surgery is feasible for early suspected meniscal injury, early meniscus injury, shorten the course of treatment, improve efficacy, and reduce the occurrence of traumatic arthritis. Arthroscopic surgery is less invasive and has a faster recovery.

<> other methods, in the acute phase, if there is significant effusion (or blood) in the joint, the effusion should be drawn under strict aseptic procedures; If the joints have"Locked", which should be removed manually"Locked", with a tubular cast from the upper thigh1 3 down to the ankle, so that the knee joint is in an upright position for 4 weeks. The cast should be properly shaped and the patient can walk with the cast. The quadriceps muscles should be actively exercised during and after immobilization to prevent muscle atrophy.

For chronic diseases, if the symptoms and signs are obvious and the diagnosis is clear, the injured meniscus should be surgically removed as soon as possible to prevent the development of traumatic arthritis. Postoperative knee extension compression bandaging, the next day to do quadriceps static contraction exercises, 2 to 3 days later to do straight leg raise exercises to prevent quadriceps atrophy, two weeks later to start walking, generally 2 to 3 months after the normal function can be restored.

The prognosis is that normal function can be restored 2 to 3 months after surgery. There are many ways to treat a meniscus injury in the knee. Here are some representative ones to introduce to you.

The general management of meniscus injuries requires strict bed rest, i.e., not continuing to move with weight-bearing on the injured knee, and then immobilizing the knee with a knee brace and a foot ring. Conservative** is mainly for some meniscal injuries with relatively minor injuries, such as first- or second-degree meniscal injuries indicated by MRI. In this case, bed rest and certain anti-inflammatory, swelling-reducing, and analgesic drugs can be used**.

If the pain is severe, continuous traction can be performed for a short period of time. Some physiotherapy methods, such as acupuncture, massage, traditional Chinese medicine fumigation, etc., also have a certain auxiliary effect on this kind of injury. If the meniscus injury is severe, MRI indicates that the third-order signal has been reached, and the clinical symptoms are very severe, meniscus surgery, such as arthroscopic cleaning or some related repair, can be used.

First of all, 1Wear knee pads on the outside of your knees and keep warm, 2And with the medication**, to reduce knee pain, 3Eat more calcium-supplemented meats, 4Eat more fruits and vegetables.

To go through surgery, it must be surgically removed as soon as possible, and the edges need to be sutured, so that normal movement can be quickly resumed.

It is necessary to go to the orthopedic department to find out the cause, actively cooperate with the doctor**, perform surgery if necessary, pay attention to rest, and do not exercise excessively.
