How to treat meniscus third degree injury

A third degree meniscus injury is recommended for surgical treatment.

A third degree meniscus injury means that the meniscus tear is severe and has a significant impact on its normal structure and function. Conservative treatment is often ineffective in this case and it is difficult to restore the torn meniscus to good condition. Surgical treatment is usually arthroscopic surgery, which is a minimally invasive surgical method with the advantages of minimal trauma and rapid recovery. Through arthroscopy, the meniscus damage can be clearly observed and accurately repaired or partially removed. The repaired meniscus can better play its role of buffering and stabilizing the joint, helping to improve joint function and reduce the risk of further joint degeneration. If not operated in time, the damaged meniscus may continue to cause pain, swelling, and other symptoms, seriously affecting the quality of life of the patient. It may also lead to accelerated wear of the articular cartilage, which may lead to more serious joint diseases.
