Can a meniscus injury be done for traction?

Most patients have a definite history of knee sprains, and after the injury, the knee joint has severe pain, cannot be straightened spontaneously, and the joint is swollen. Tenderness in the knee space is an important basis for meniscal injury.

**Measures] 1In the acute phase, if there is significant effusion (or blood) in the joint, the effusion should be aspirated under strict aseptic procedures; If there is a "locking" of the joints, the "locking" should be removed by manipulation, and then the knee joint should be fixed in the upright position for 4 weeks with a cast-type cast from the 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.

2.In the chronic phase, if non-surgical treatment is ineffective, the symptoms and signs are obvious, and the diagnosis is clear, the injured meniscus should be surgically removed as soon as possible to prevent the development of traumatic arthritis. Postoperative knee extension compression bandaging, the next day to do quadriceps rest contraction exercises, 2 to 3 days later to start straight leg raise exercises, to prevent quadriceps atrophy, two weeks later began to walk on the ground, generally in the postoperative 2 to 3 months can return to normal function.

3.Application of Arthroscopy Arthroscopy can be used for meniscal injury**, and meniscus edge tears can be repaired with sutures, usually with partial meniscus excision, leaving the uninjured part. Emergency arthroscopy can be performed for patients with early suspicion of meniscus injury, early treatment of meniscal injury, shortening the course of treatment, improving the best effect, and reducing the occurrence of traumatic arthritis.

Arthroscopic surgery is less invasive and the recovery is faster.

Meniscus injury to do traction? Did the doctor tell you? Pure.

After the meniscus is damaged, only"Interlocking"In this state, the broken meniscus may enter the crack of the kneecap, and in the case of mild cases, it can be unlocked at that time; In severe cases, the patient is unable to even bend his leg and will have to wait several days before unlocking it. Doing traction at this time is pure nonsense.

Even if the normal meniscus is damaged, there is no need for traction, and it is not the lumbar spine or cervical spine.

Can meniscus injuries heal on their own with maintenance?

Daily exercise is indispensable, and patients with meniscus injuries should exercise how to exercise.

Meniscus injuries can not do joint compression-related exercises, but basically all exercises involve joint movements, so it is necessary to look for exercises with the least pressure on the joints, it is recommended that you try swimming, because there is a buffer of water, so the pressure on the joints can be minimized! Therefore, I personally think that for people with meniscus injuries, the best way to exercise is swimming!

If you have a meniscus injury, you should try to avoid exercises that put pressure on your knees, and swimming should be a wise choice.

After a meniscus injury, exercising your knees is actually exercising the quadriceps, which are the thigh muscles. Sit or lie down, straighten your legs and raise them for half an hour twice a day. Work your thigh muscles.

Calf weights, straightening and high leg raises, and exercising thigh muscles. That's how the doctor told me to exercise after my meniscus surgery. That's basically it.

The meniscus is the cartilage structure of the human body, due to the lack of blood supply, the repair is slower, milder or degenerative damage, and it can generally heal within 2-3 months by taking symptomatic drugs to protect the cartilage. Whether the meniscus injury can be ** is related to the location of the injury, the lateral 1 3 of the meniscus is close to the synovium, the blood supply is richer, and it can heal spontaneously. 2 3 Injuries are not easy to heal and require arthroscopic surgery for meniscus.

The meniscus is round on the outside and half-moon on the inside, and meniscus is arthroscopically removed and fixed and repaired.

The meniscus is a C-shaped cushioning structure made of elastic cartilage between the two main bones of the femur and tibia, which make up the knee joint. The meniscus acts as a cushion to prevent damage to the articular surface cartilage caused by impact. Meniscus injuries can be caused by trauma or degeneration.

Meniscus injury caused by severe trauma can be complicated by knee soft tissue injury, such as collateral ligament injury, cruciate ligament injury, joint capsule injury, articular cartilage surface injury, etc., while meniscus injury caused by degeneration is a gradual process, and the clinical appearance of symptoms is relatively slow.

Only a small amount of fluid in the normal joint cavity plays the role of lubricating, protecting, and nourishing the articular cartilage, and only when the fluid in the joint cavity increases under the action of certain pathological factors becomes a joint effusion. It can be seen that meniscus injury and joint effusion, which are manifestations of knee joint degeneration, should first be to keep warm, avoid cold and strengthen the strength of the quadriceps muscle of the knee joint, in addition, physiotherapy, manual massage, etc. are some good measures that can be used daily.

Considerations for Sports Injury** Planning.

Short- and long-term goals are set in the plan (content).

Short-term goals: a combination of proper first aid, swelling control, pain reduction, re-establishment of neuromuscular control, restoration of range of motion, increase muscle strength, endurance, explosive power, improved postural stability and balance, maintenance of cardiopulmonary function, and similar functional progression.

Long-term goal: Training, competition normal.

Difficulty: How to adjust, change, and advance the ** plan at the right time to make it most effective.

1.Control edema.

Causes of swelling: hemorrhage, synovial fluid exudate, accumulation of inflammatory by-products, edema, multifactorial combination.

Adverse effects: increased pressure at the site of injury, resulting in pain, neuromuscular depression.

Control Method: Protection (Use of Various Protective Gear; If it is a lower limb, avoid weight-bearing).

Restriction of activity (resting of the affected limb and normal movement in other positions; Rational activities in the early stages are positive for the repair of the organization; The duration of activity restriction depends on the extent and nature of the injury).

Ice (analgesic, constricts blood vessels, lowers local metabolism; Leave on for 20-30 minutes; 2-3 days in the acute phase).

Compression bandaging (the most effective way to control swelling).

Elevate the affected limb (the higher the elevation, the better the effect).

After the injury occurs, the method of controlling edema is as follows: immediately apply pressure bandaging to the injury site from the distal end to the proximal end; Apply ice to the affected area for 45 minutes, then every hour for 30 minutes, and as much ice as possible for 48 hours after the injury; Raise the affected limb as high as possible, especially at night when you sleep; Rest for at least 24 hours at the site of the injury.

2. Control pain.

Pain is an obstacle to strength and flexibility exercises, and various methods (cold, heat, electrotherapy) are used to relieve pain. The degree of pain is an indicator of the severity of the injury and the degree of repair.

3. Rebuild neuromuscular control.

In the whole process, we need to pay attention to neuromuscular control, and complete the action naturally through the practice of repetitive movements.

4. Recovery of joint range of motion.

It is important to distinguish whether it is due to muscle tendons or joint capsules and ligaments. Muscle tendons can be recovered by stretching; The joint capsule and ligaments can be resolved by joint mobilization and traction.

5. Functional exercise.

A series of progressive, closely integrated exercises that cut the normal movements into a series of small movements.

The knee joint is structurally complex, and diseases of the meniscus, tendons, ligaments, bursa, fascia and other parts caused by trauma can cause this symptom. Meniscus injury is one of the common symptoms of the knee joint, mainly caused by exertion and cold. Because it is aseptic inflammation, general anti-inflammatory drugs do not work.

You can choose to be conservative**: traditional Chinese medicine is good at nourishing blood and invigorating blood, promoting local microcirculation, delivering nutrients to the synovial fluid in the joint cavity through local microcirculation, supplementing the nutrition of the affected tissues in the joint, and then repairing the damaged meniscus to achieve the purpose of meniscus injury. Strengthens muscles and bones, enhances the load capacity of meniscus tissue, and makes the knee joint stronger and more stable.

Exercise attention: wear knee pads daily, pay close attention to keeping warm to prevent the invasion of cold and damp, exercise needs to be gradual, do what you can, not excessive.

Exercise the main method. 1. Prevent exercising with a large amount of exercise, such as running, high jump, long jump, and half-hour indoor walking. 2. Insist on active contraction of the left quadriceps muscle, 4-5 times a day, 10-20 times each time.

3. Lie on your back and bend your knees and hips to do a self-driving action, 2-3 times a day, 50 times each time.

4. Do squatting and standing exercises without weight, 30-50 times in a row, 2-3 times a day.

5. Do not do the semi-flexion rotation of the knee joint to prevent meniscus injury.

Meniscus injuries are impossible to recover, and the bike is naturally ineffective. Based on what you have described, it may be a ruptured meniscus and arthroscopic surgery is recommended. Exercise after surgery.

Meniscus injury is not serious or you can still ride a bicycle, ** generally need to use long-leg external fixation to keep the affected knee in the straight position for 4-6 weeks, external fixation can be a tube cast, or a brace, to ensure good shaping and reliable fixation.

First of all, it is necessary to judge the extent of the injury, if it is not serious, try to do the best exercises, increase the strength of the knee muscles to strengthen protection, and do not ride a large number of racing cars, otherwise it will definitely increase wear and tear.

No, you can't go up the stairs.

This meniscus is caused by sports injuries, and the possibility of meniscus injury healing is relatively small, so it is generally not recommended to exercise, which will aggravate cartilage damage.

Stay until you're done and then exercise! Do not do sports when you are injured, otherwise it will increase the damage of the meniscus, and it will affect walking at that time. The meniscus is an important joint connecting the upper and lower behaviors, squatting and standing are indispensable, and it cannot walk when it is broken.

I have seen a little child who was born without a meniscus and could not walk when he grew up.

What is said is not to scare you, but to make you value the meniscus! Best wishes soon**!

Your condition needs to be confirmed by an MRI examination, it is very likely to be a meniscus injury, and the injured meniscus cannot be healed through **, and conservative** is to prohibit weight bearing for 6-8 weeks. According to your situation, the most suitable advice for you is to do an MRI to confirm the diagnosis, if it is a meniscus tear, surgical repair as soon as possible, otherwise it cannot be repaired in the advanced stage, it can only be removed, and a meniscus transplant will be done later. It's troublesome.

Be sure to pay attention.

The Second Affiliated Hospital of the University of South China - Department of General Orthopedics - Attending Physician Fu Yong.

It's better not to do it and let the body rest well! Your body is now overactive and tired! It's best to wait until it gets better!!

If you want to do it, you can do small amounts of exercise to prevent it from getting worse.

Some of the yoga asanas can not be done, choose the right simple point to prevent re-injury.

If you don't pay attention to these sets of yoga movements, you may injure your knees.

In the early stages of a meniscus injury, soreness and discomfort begin at the tip of the palate (i.e., the bulge above the knee when the knee is flexed), followed by a persistent, dull ache. Usually support the ancient shun meniscus Shu Luo patch to recover, usually bask in the sun more, do not bear weight. In daily life and work (such as going up and down stairs, squatting and standing up, walking with weights, kicking a ball hard, etc.), pain in the tip of the tongue will occur when the quadriceps muscle contraction is done, which is a sign of meniscus injury.

People who are more severe also have pain at the tip of the cheek when walking. I feel weak in my knees, and I am easily fatigued when walking, so that I can't lift my shoulders, lift my hands, and walk with heavy objects.

There are many ways to check, and the following are more common:

1.The tender part is pressed with the thumb from front to back on the area of meniscus injury, and the patient should be fixed first if there is obvious pain, and at the same time press to see if the knee joint can move freely.

2。In the maneuver squeeze test, hold the calf ankle with one hand and the knee with the other, and then abduct, externally rotate, internally rotate, and gradually straighten the calf. Until there is pain or noise, it is possible to confirm that the meniscus has been damaged.

3.If the patient does have symptoms of meniscus injury, then when the squat reaches a certain position, the meniscus will be squeezed and unable to squat, and the pain will be very intense. X-rays can sometimes be used to diagnose the extent of an injury.

Precautions: Exercise often brings us unimaginable pain, such as meniscus injuries that need our attention. In the process of exercising, you should pay attention to self-protection, do not do dangerous actions, if you are really injured, listen to the doctor's words, recuperate, and actively cooperate with treatment.

This depends on the degree of specific injury, Shanghai Kaiyuan and the like are orthopedic first to check to see if it is serious, and during this time, we should pay attention to rest and avoid the activities of the meniscus.

Meniscus injuries are not going to be good.

Since the meniscus has no vascular **nutrients.

So it won't fix itself.

That is to say, if it is broken, it is broken.

It can only be repaired manually, but it does not heal.

It's not as strong as it used to be.

Even the new meniscus after removal is only a substitute.

Exercise a little more intensely can also cause injuries, good luck.

To be honest, it is impossible to recover as well as before the injury, slowly recuperate, and have experience.
