Under normal circumstances, the causes of medial meniscus injury are mainly considered in two aspects: first, most young people are in strenuous exercise, such as playing football and basketball, knee flexion and high-speed rotation may damage the medial meniscus. Under normal circumstances, treatment for this situation still needs to be actively treated according to the degree of meniscus injury. If the meniscus injury is not severe, it can generally be strictly fixed by plaster for about one and a half months. Most of them can be recovered by applying some drugs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis and nourish cartilage. However, the injury is more severe, such as showing tears or laminations. Walking shows interlocking symptoms. This situation requires arthroscopic suture meniscus surgery. Second, the meniscus degeneration caused by osteoarthritis in the elderly can also cause medial meniscus injury. For this case, most patients still need active arthroscopic surgery, because after this meniscus injury, it is generally due to long-term wear and tear, and the possibility of self-healing is not high. Generally, the surgical method in this case is also pruning, most of which cannot be sutured.
