    There will be a second injury, and we generally think that when the meniscus is injured, try to take an active conservative **; For example, by rotating the calf inside and outside to make the calf as much as possible flexed and straightened, the knee locking symptoms can be relieved; Or immobilize the knee in an upright position for 4 weeks with a cast-type cast from the upper thigh 1 3 down to the ankle.

    The cast should be properly shaped, and the patient can walk on the ground with the cast. During and after immobilization, the quadriceps muscles should be actively exercised to prevent muscle atrophy. This is the acute phase**.

    If there is a torn meniscus injury or chronic, the effect of conservative ** is not optimistic, and most patients have traumatic arthritis of the knee joint after a long time, so we advocate that the injured meniscus should be removed by surgery as soon as possible to prevent traumatic arthritis.

    Surgery often uses arthroscopy to repair the torn meniscus edge with sutures or partial meniscus excision, leaving the undamaged part undamaged. Early treatment of meniscal injury can shorten the course of the disease, improve the best effect, and reduce the occurrence of traumatic arthritis. Arthroscopic surgery is less invasive and can generally return to normal function 2 to 3 months after surgery.

    Therefore, it is currently the preferred and effective method for meniscal injury.

    Since it is difficult to understand your specific condition, it is recommended to do this under the guidance of a local doctor**.

    Cruciate ligament injury in the right knee. There are anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (also known as cruciate ligaments) in the joint, and the anterior cruciate ligament originates from the anterior anterior part of the tibial intercondyle and terminates posteriorly, superiorly, and externally on the medial surface of the lateral femoral condyle; The posterior cruciate ligament originates from the posterior aspect of the tibial condyle bulge, anteriorly, superiorly, and medially and terminates outside the medial malleolus of the femur, and the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are tense regardless of whether the knee joint is straightened or flexed, with the anterior cruciate ligament preventing the tibia from moving anteriorly and the posterior cruciate ligament preventing the tibia from moving backward. Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee can occur due to hyperextension or excessive abduction of the knee by violence.

    For example, when the knee is flexed, an external force is applied to the femur from front to back, or an external force is struck from the back to the front of the tibia, which can cause anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Anterior knee dislocation is often caused by hyperextension and inevitably injures the anterior cruciate ligament. If caused by excessive abduction, medial ligament rupture may occur at the same time, and anterior cruciate ligament injury with medial meniscus injury is also common.

    When the knee is flexed, the external force strikes the upper end of the tibia from front to back, causing the tibia to move excessively backward, which can cause posterior cruciate ligament injury and even posterior dislocation of the knee joint. If the cruciate ligament is ruptured, or the tibial spine avulsion fracture has significant displacement, the ruptured ligament should be repaired with surgery as soon as possible, or the avulsion fracture should be reduced and internalized, and the long-leg cast should be fixed for 4 to 6 weeks after surgery, and the quadriceps muscle should be strengthened. Cruciate ligament tears are considered to be the hardest injuries to athletes.

    At least you will have to rest for about 6 months. In the worst case, you should take a break for more than 1 year.

    In acute injury, someone can hear an intra-articular sound on their own. It is often accompanied by synovial membrane damage to the inner wall of the joint sac, causing intra-articular hemorrhage and effusion. After the injury, the joint gradually swells and the pain persists.

    With rest and general swelling and pain relief**, symptoms are relieved, but the joint space is still painful, especially when the joint is extended and flexed into a certain position. When walking, especially up and down stairs, I feel weakness in my lower limbs, and I often have soft legs, which affects my work and life. Over time, the thigh muscles atrophy and the circumference becomes thinner.

    Some patients suddenly feel abnormal pain in the knee joint when walking, unable to move, or even fall. After enduring the pain and moving the lower legs, you can resume walking. This symptom is called joint locking and is caused by an injured meniscus getting stuck in the joint.

    In some patients, the knee feels snapping and hears a snapping sound when the knee is moved.

    A few specific types of meniscal injuries may be repaired with surgery, and the vast majority are meniscalctomy. By removing the injured meniscus, knee symptoms can be eliminated or significantly reduced. Over time, in situ structures will grow like meniscus, which are less functional than normal.

    Meniscus injury can be done in China, arthroscopic surgery, the effect is very good.

If there are no locking symptoms 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. Chronic mid-term stable semi-cons longitudinal cracks of the meniscus, the tears are less than 10mm, or the non-full-thickness tears are mostly asymptomatic, and can also be conservative**, such as the external application of traditional Chinese medicine plaster Jiyutang Meniscus Bone Strengthening Bone Shuluo Patch, Chinese medicinal ingredients can quickly penetrate the subcutaneous tissue, coupled with modern far-infrared physiotherapy technology, in which the wavelength of 8-15 m far-infrared rays is of great significance to human survival and health.
