Should meniscus margin injuries be surgically treated?

How to deal with a meniscus injury?

1. It can be cured, but surgery is not recommended. This is because surgery** is usually the use of arthroscopy to remove the free meniscus fragment or remove the injured meniscus. Removal of the meniscus is a last resort.

Patients will lose or weaken basic physiological functions such as jumping and weight-bearing after spring removal.

2. If you are not seriously lenient, it is recommended that you should be conservative**. Using traditional Chinese medicine**, external application of the meniscus and ligament repair, generally about 15 days of medication can be effective, the pain is significantly reduced by about 80%, the meniscus ** needs about 40 days, and the ligament ** needs about 30 days to heal.

1. Meniscus injury in the hospital.

General orthopaedic hospitals** can only give patients general painkillers, anti-inflammatory injections, or fluid aspiration. Occlusion (sodium hyaluronate), once or twice is OK, once it causes infection of the joint cavity for a long time, it will make the disease more difficult.

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.
