If the patient's posterior meniscus injury is relatively mild, and there is no obvious tear of the meniscus, or a complete fracture, the knee joint can be appropriately limited in flexion and extension weight-bearing activities, and cartilage nutrition drugs can be used to promote the repair of meniscus injury, and arthrocentesis can be used to inject the nutritional lubricant sodium hyaluronate** if necessary to promote the repair of the injured meniscus.
