MENISCUS TEAR: CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENTS
The meniscus is a piece of cartilage that provides support between your femur and tibia. There are two menisci in each knee joint.
They can be damaged or torn during activities that put pressure on or rotate the knee joint. However, you don’t have to be an athlete to get a torn meniscus. Simply lifting too quickly from a squatting position can also cause a meniscal tear.
CAUZE
The meniscus can be torn during activities that cause direct contact or pressure caused by forced twisting or turning. Sports that require sudden turns and stops can put you at higher risk for meniscus injuries.
Meniscus tears are becoming increasingly common in children as they participate in organized sports at a younger age. The same is true for teenagers participating in competitive sports.
The menisci become sensitized with age. Injuries are more common in people over the age of 30. If you have arthritis, there is a higher risk of injuring your knee or tearing your meniscus. When an older person has a meniscus tear, it is more likely to be related to degeneration. This can happen when the cartilage in the knee becomes weaker and thinner. As a result, it is more prone to tearing.
SIMPTOME
When a meniscus tear occurs, you may hear a sound around the knee joint. After that, you can experiment:
pain, especially when the area is touched
swelling
difficulty moving the knee or inability to move it through a full range of motion
feeling of a stuck knee
the feeling that your knee is giving way or cannot support you
You may also experience a slipping sensation, which is usually an indication that a piece of cartilage has loosened and is blocking the knee joint.
TREATMENT
Fortunately, not all meniscal tears require surgery. Initially, you should treat the knee with conservative techniques, which include a combination of osteopathy, physiotherapy, physiotherapy, physiotherapy, manual therapy. Exercises will be recommended to strengthen the muscles around the knee. These procedures will reduce your pain and increase knee mobility and stability.
If your knee does not respond to the above treatments, your doctor may recommend arthroscopic surgery. The recovery time for your knee depends on a number of factors, including how severe the meniscus tear is.
