Meniscus Injury Symptoms Who knows what the symptoms of a meniscus injury are?

Injuries can be transverse, longitudinal, horizontal, or irregularly shaped, or even broken into intra-articular loose bodies. 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.

Meniscus injury is caused by low immunity of the body due to fatigue, trauma, infection and other reasons, the deficiency of visceral function, and the invasion of wind, cold, and dampness into the body's coagulation joints and meridians. **Menstrual analgesia can be selected-patch**. I wish you good health.

The most common symptoms are recurrent pain, swelling, and locking joints.

Meniscus injuries are more common in ball players, miners, porters, etc. When the knee is fully extended, the medial and medial collateral ligaments are tense, the joint is stable, and there is less chance of meniscus injury. When the lower limbs are weight-bearing, the feet are fixed, and the knee joint is in a semi-flexed position, the meniscus moves backward, such as sudden excessive internal rotation or external rotation of the knee, and the meniscus is not able to retreat and is compressed, which can cause injury and tear.

Meniscus can be used externally to strengthen the bone and relax the patch, and the meniscus injury will easily cause muscle atrophy for a long time, which is manifested as walking often feeling weak in the affected leg and suddenly appearing "weak leg". Feeling discomfort in the joints, slipping, and pain when walking. It is most noticeable when walking on uneven roads, going up ** steps or stairs, and there may be a snapping sound in the joints.

1. There are many causes of meniscus injury, the first is meniscus injury caused by chronic strain, and the second is sports injury.

The first is often accompanied by osteoarthritis, as well as joint degeneration, which causes wear and tear of the meniscus, causing this metamorphosis damage.

The second type is a sports injury, such as strenuous soccer or basketball, especially when the knee joint is more weight-bearing.

2. Meniscus injury generally causes knee pain, especially in the process of knee flexion and extension, in a certain posture, it will cause symptoms of knee pain, and there will be obvious tenderness in the knee eye of the knee joint. When the knee joint is hyperextended and bent, it will cause knee pain, and there may be knee locking during walking activities, that is, the injured meniscus is stuck in the knee joint space, which needs to be unlocked by manual reduction or arthroscopy, meniscus injury is generally a symptom of pain and limited walking movement of the knee joint.

3. If there is a meniscus injury, the first thing to do is to determine the extent of the meniscus injury and the location of the meniscus injury. Meniscus injury grade, if simple 1 and 2 degrees, so that the meniscus can be repaired by conservative rest, immobilization, and slowly let the meniscus repair itself. If the meniscus is damaged to the third degree, and there is a case of meniscus strangulation, it is recommended to choose surgery**, which can repair the meniscus through surgery, or it can be sent to remove the fragmented pieces, which can promote the recovery of function.

4. Meniscus injury depends on the degree of meniscus injury and the location of the injury, if it is a degree of two degrees and is in the red zone, it can be conservative**, it can be non-surgical**, and sometimes it can also achieve very satisfactory results. However, if the injury area is in the third zone or there is local dissociation, causing joint locking, the third-degree injury is a very serious injury, similar to a ruined meniscus injury, then surgery is necessary.

1 There are many causes of meniscus injury, the first is meniscus injury caused by chronic strain, and the second is sports injury.

The first is often accompanied by osteoarthritis, as well as joint degeneration, which causes wear and tear of the meniscus, resulting in metamorphosic damage.

The second type is sports injuries, such as strenuous soccer or basketball, especially when the knee is more weight-bearing, resulting in meniscus injuries.

2. Meniscus injury generally causes knee pain, especially in the process of knee flexion and extension, in a certain posture, it will cause symptoms of knee pain, and there will be obvious tenderness in the knee eye of the knee joint. When the knee joint is hyperextended and bent, it will cause knee pain, and there may be knee locking in walking activities, that is, the injured meniscus is stuck in the knee joint space, which needs to be reset and unlocked by manual operation, or unlocked by arthroscopy.

3. Once the meniscus injury is determined, it is needed, and the meniscus is roughly divided into two ways.

One is conservative**, through physiotherapy, **, taking non-steroidal drugs, to reduce pain while promoting the repair of the meniscus, this time is generally not more than two months.

If the symptoms of meniscus injury after two months are not alleviated, and even have a tendency to worsen, and there is a tendency to joint locking, it is conservative and ineffective, and surgery is required.

4. It is possible to have a traveling part of the meniscus injury, but there are prerequisites for this kind of meniscus. First of all, it is necessary to understand the zoning of meniscus injuries, which are divided into red-red, red-white, and white-white areas. The red area, which is the area where blood vessels and blood vessels pass through, has a very high rate of meniscus injury**.

The red and white area is the place where part of the blood circulation is part, and part of the place without blood circulation, the ** of meniscus injury in this area has a certain chance, but it is not guaranteed to be completely non-healing. If it is a white area, it will not heal itself at all, and the meniscus may need to be ground off or rebuilt. Therefore, when the meniscus is injured, it is necessary to do an MRI examination, or a knee arthroscopy to determine the extent of the injury, and then the doctor will tell the patient whether the meniscus has a self-healing rate.

1. Meniscus injuries are divided into three degrees from mild to severe, generally first and second degrees are more common, and third degrees are rare. The third degree is often caused by high-energy injuries, such as traffic accidents and falls from heights. Third-degree injuries generally require surgery**; Conservative** can be taken for the first and second degrees**, but if it is conservative**, the effect is not good or there is no effect**, surgery is considered**.

At present, the vast majority of first-degree and second-degree injuries can be healed by non-surgical **, and only a small number require surgery**.

2. The meniscus plays a very important role in the knee joint because of its position and structure, once the injury is not correct, or there is no way to carry out it, and finally it is removed, the following sequelae will appear:

The first, traumatic joints, is the most common complication of meniscal injuries.

Second, deformities of the knee joint, such as knee varus and knee valgus, damage the medial meniscus, which may cause knee varus and lateral knee valgus.

The third, traumatic synovitis.

The fourth, knee osteoarthritis, is often referred to as OA.

Fifth, knee rigidity.

Sixth, chondromia-patella.

There are six symptoms of healing from a meniscus injury:

First, the pain, swelling and impaired mobility of the knee are gone, and there is no instability in the knee and no effusion in the knee cavity.

Second, the patient does not have the phenomenon of locking and unlocking, and the snapping in the knee joint cavity disappears during activity.

Thirdly, the knee rotational crush test changed from positive to negative.

Fourth, the quadriceps and medial femoris muscles of the affected limb were not significantly atrophied, which did not affect walking and weight bearing.

Fifth, the area where the meniscus has been broken has healed on imaging and ultrasound or MRI of the knee. Sedan chair.

Sixth, arthroscopy can clearly see that the meniscus has been repaired and the rupture has disappeared.

4. If the meniscus injury is not **, it will basically not heal itself, and the injury will slowly become more and more serious, and in the end, the meniscus will be denatured or free. Degeneration loses normal function, resulting in a reduction of at least 50% in the contact area of the critical surface, and the contact force between the femur and the tibia is doubled, resulting in abnormal friction, which is bound to accelerate the degeneration of the knee joint, and then slowly become a degenerative joint of the knee joint.

The second situation is that the damage is getting bigger and bigger, not **, after the half-guess He shouts that the meniscus is slowly free, and after the free, it will cause the joint to be strangled, and the joint will be stuck when walking, and after the activity, it will be like unlocking and you can walk again. After a long time, there is a point that just touching it will cause severe pain. Then be especially careful when walking.

Then the quadriceps muscles begin to atrophy.

Therefore, if the meniscus injury is not **, there may be no symptoms for a period of time, but with the extension of time and aging, the symptoms will become more and more obvious, and in the end, it will gradually change from a normal joint to a joint with osteoarthritis by accelerating degeneration, and it will be more troublesome at that time.

Meniscus injury symptoms

Friends who often exercise know what meniscus injury is all about, and they also know that there will be no more serious consequences in time, but most people don't know this, but they still think that it is just an ordinary injury problem, rub some medicine or wine or recover after a while, there is no need to spend time**, if you have such an idea, then the meniscus injury will continue to worsen because of the delay**, and then we will briefly introduce the symptoms of meniscus injury, and tell you how to be the right way**.

Meniscus injury symptoms

Clause. 1. Swelling needs attention.

Meniscus in the knee joint, so it is easy to be injured when jumping and running, it is not only a common disease mobilized by the lead Xiangxin, even ordinary people will be injured because of carelessness, one of the symptoms of meniscus injury is obvious swelling of the joint, usually caused by acute sprain, many friends because the injury is more serious, so the swelling will be more conspicuous, at this time you can use the medicine to wipe the massage, if the situation is still not improved, you have to go to the hospital to let the doctor deal with it.

Clause. 2. Pain is a must-have symptom.

Any part of the injury will have pain, the meniscus is no exception, when the part is injured, friends can clearly feel the knee joint will occasionally appear pain, although not all the time can be felt, but also has a certain impact on life, especially when walking or running, the pain will be more intense, if you still turn a blind eye, it will only make the injury more severe.

Clause. Third, if it is not timely, it will cause big problems.

Many friends don't take meniscus injury seriously, either procrastinate or ignore it, and after a long time, the symptoms of meniscus injury will develop in a more serious direction, such as muscles gradually feel weak, and when you move, you can clearly perceive the lack of strength in the knee joint, and even when you go up the stairs, you can feel that the joint is wrong.

After reading the above article, you can know that the symptoms of meniscus injury need to be paid attention to, and at the same time, you should bury it in time, when you press around the knee, you can clearly feel the pain somewhere, it means that the lesion has begun to be damaged, and you can find the help of a doctor as soon as possible to prevent more problems.

If the meniscus injury is mild, choose conservative, relieve it through physiotherapy, take some anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs, and inject some sodium hyaluronate or chitin sugar in severe cases.

Meniscus injury this**, we first classify, is degree, degree, degree classification, degree is, degree these are degeneration or some mild damage, we are conservative**, through physiotherapy, if there is synovitis, take some anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs, oral some glucosamine, and then more serious we can inject some sodium hyaluronate or chitin drugs to repair the joint cartilage.

For meniscus injuries of this degree, especially those with joint locking or limited flexion and extension, we generally need to repair them through arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery. At present, our meniscus is generally preserved surgery, whether it is an injury to the anterior or posterior horn of the meniscus, we can suture the meniscus through our arthroscopic minimally invasive instruments.

In order to maximize the preservation of the meniscus, that is, complete damage, we can also transplant a new meniscus through a meniscus transplantation, so that the patient can get a complete improvement.
