Meniscus injury is usually cured if treated aggressively at an early stage. Meniscus injury has two causes. First, acute trauma, usually seen in traffic accidents or sprained knee joints during sports, is more common in young people. At this time, early MRI examination and related knee examination should be performed. If meniscus injury is diagnosed, knee arthroscopy should be performed early. If the meniscus tear is severe, an early meniscal suture can be performed to restore meniscus integrity and thus restore meniscus function. If the meniscal injury delays the opportunity for early surgical suture, the meniscal injury will not be completely healed, and the meniscus will be removed or partially removed. Second, the elderly degeneration caused by meniscal damage, when degenerative arthritis caused meniscus damage, can also show meniscus tear, can also be treated under arthroscopy. Meniscus can be removed or partially removed, some patients can also be sutured, but compared with young people's acute meniscus injury surgery, the effect of surgery is slightly worse. Therefore, half injuries should be diagnosed early and treated surgically, and most patients can recover.
