Conservative treatment for meniscus tear
Meniscus injury, as it is cartilage, may not be given the same level of attention as a fracture if it occurs. But meniscus injuries will not heal on their own.
The conservative treatment of topical application of Gu Shun Fu Tang meniscus patch has significant effects. Compared with internal medication, sticking the patch has no side effects. Generally, oral medication must pass through human organs such as kidneys and intestines, so it may have a certain stimulating effect on internal organs. Over time, it can damage a person's internal organ function. And the ointment is applied to the surface of the skin, absorbed through the skin, and directly reaches the affected area, without the need for gastrointestinal effects to achieve efficacy. Therefore, applying ointment will not cause damage to organs and the effect is relatively good. What are the symptoms of meniscus injury? Common symptoms: swelling, pain, limited mobility. Common clinical manifestations after meniscus injury include localized pain, joint swelling, clicking and interlocking, quadriceps atrophy, leg weakness, and clear tenderness in the knee joint space or meniscus area. 1. Common signs of tenderness include localized tenderness along the medial and lateral spaces of the knee joint or around the meniscus. 2. The test patient is in a supine position. The examiner uses one hand to press against the inner edge of the joint, controlling the medial meniscus, and the other hand to hold the foot, causing the knee joint to fully flex and the lower leg to rotate outward and inward. Then, the knee joint is slowly extended, and a bouncing sound or bounce can be heard or felt; Then press your hand against the outer edge of the joint, control the lateral meniscus, rotate the calf inward and outward, slowly extend the knee joint, and hear or feel bouncing or bouncing.
The popping sound generated by the experiment or the sudden pain reported by the patient during the examination often has some significance in locating meniscus tears: the popping sound between complete knee flexion and 90 ° often indicates a tear at the posterior edge of the meniscus; When the knee joint produces a popping sound in a larger extended position, it indicates a tear in the middle or front of the meniscus.
3. The patient in the grinding test is in a prone position, bent 90 degrees, with the front of the thigh fixed on the examination table, lifting the foot and calf to separate the joint and perform a rotational motion. The force tightened during rotation is on the ligament. If the ligament tears, there will be significant pain during the test. Afterwards, when the knee joint is in the same position, the foot and calf press down and rotate the joint, gently bend and extend. When the meniscus tears, there may be a noticeable popping sound and pain in the knee joint space.
4. Classification of meniscus injuries. Classification of meniscus tears has guiding significance for diagnosis and selection of appropriate surgical treatment methods.
There are many different classification methods for meniscus tears, with the most common being edge type, center type, longitudinal rupture (i.e. "barrel handle type" rupture), anterior or posterior angle petal like rupture, and rare transverse rupture in the middle of the meniscus. History of trauma, localized pain, joint swelling, clicking interlocking, and atrophy of the medial head of the quadriceps femoris muscle.
