Can a meniscus tear be fully recovered with conservative treatment?

Meniscus in the knee joints of the human body.

The meniscus plays the role of a cushion in the knee joint, and the most common tears are mainly car accidents and post-sports injuries, and the main symptoms are swelling and pain in the knee joint, joint locking and inability to move, and aggravation of pain after activity.

Meniscus tear.

The meniscus is a layer of fibrocartilage located in the space of the knee joint, and its shape is half-moon-shaped, hence the name meniscus. The inner and outer sides have one divided into the medial meniscus.

and the lateral meniscus, which is an important structure of the knee joint and plays an important role in the functional activity of the joint. Meniscus tears are a common type of sports injury and are often caused by torsional force.

The causes of meniscus tears can be broadly divided into:

1. Acute trauma is often caused by external violence on the knee joint, and most patients have a history of trauma. A medial meniscus tear is a semi-flexion and external displacement of the knee joint, the meniscus is displaced to the knee ** and posteriorly, and the lower end of the femur is suddenly internally rotated by external force, pulling the meniscus between the femoral condyle and the tibial plateau, causing damage between the weight-bearing surfaces. Lateral meniscus tears are mainly seen in the semi-flexion and adduction of the knee, and are caused by sudden external rotation and extension of the lower end of the femur;

2. Degenerative lesions, meniscus tears caused by degenerative lesions, no obvious history of trauma, common in middle-aged and elderly people and people engaged in special work or sports, such as long-term semi-squatting or squatting work, long-term repetitive knee flexion, rotation and straightening of the knee joint, and the meniscus is repeatedly squeezed and worn and resulting in tears. Due to the degeneration and aging of the meniscus, the elderly are also prone to tearing when they squat or go up and down the stairs inadvertently;

3. In addition, congenital abnormalities of the meniscus, especially the lateral discoid meniscus.

It is more likely to cause degeneration and tear damage. Congenital joint laxity and other internal disorders can also increase the risk of meniscus tear injury.

It is impossible to fully recover.

Mild meniscus injuries can recover on their ownThe meniscus tear depends on the severity of the injury, and the meniscus injury is likely to heal after a long period of recuperation. If the injury is severe, surgery should only be considered. The surgical regimen depends on the specific condition.

The function of the meniscus is to stabilize the knee joint, disseminate the load of the knee joint, and promote intra-articular nutrition. Because the knee joint bears a lot of weight and has a large range of motion, it is easy to be injured and cause meniscus injury or lesions, because there is no blood inside the meniscus itself, but there is blood circulation around it.

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

Dude, you're in the same situation as me, have you kept ** well, I'm also conservative, I've been raising ** for a month, and I can take two steps.

Meniscus tears generally cannot be repaired on their own and require surgery**! Don't be sloppy!

After the meniscus is torn, 1. You should choose strict bed rest, not be able to continue to move, it is best to use a plaster cast or brace for external fixation of the lower limbs, and after fixation, the injured position should be raised higher than the level of the heart, so as to help eliminate edema and reduce pain. 2. Oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers, such as nimesulide and loxoprofen sodium, to relieve inflammatory edema and pain caused by meniscal tears. 3. Oral administration of Chinese patent medicines that invigorate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain, increase blood circulation, promote the absorption of inflammatory metabolites, and reduce joint swelling.

4. After 1 month of fixation, the plaster and brace can be removed, and then the function exercise can be carried out. If the knee joint is suddenly stuck when walking or going up stairs, it is possible to continue walking freely after moving, which is called joint locking. After the soft leg and joint locking, it is necessary to undergo surgery**, the operation usually takes the knee arthroscopy, and the torn meniscus is repaired or trimmed, which can generally achieve very good results.

This depends on the actual situation, and the degree of meniscus injury is different, and the method of recovery is also different. However, they all need to be checked first, orthopedics like Kaiyuan can, and then you should pay attention to rest and reduce activities.

Arthroscopic surgery is generally recommended for moderate and higher injuries.

Meniscus tears are generally more severe meniscus injuries. An MRI of the knee joint can be performed to determine the extent and location of the tear. The best way to treat meniscus tears is to consider arthroscopic surgical treatment, arthroscopic according to the location and degree of meniscus tear, corresponding meniscus suture, or local meniscus excision.

After a meniscus tear, if left untreated, it may worsen joint degeneration. If suture surgery is done, the postoperative recovery time is relatively long, and it takes 2-3 months, and excessive knee flexion, long-distance walking and strenuous exercise should be avoided within two months, otherwise it is not conducive to local repair. At the same time, drugs that can assist in blood circulation and blood stasis, such as blood circulation and pain relief capsules, help promote the repair of the meniscus.
