What is knee meniscus injury hydrops

Meniscus injury is a common condition that requires attention.

Meniscus injury is usually caused by violent movements such as torsion and compression of the knee joint. When the meniscus is subjected to excessive stress, it may tear and other injuries, resulting in inflammation and accumulation of water. Patients may feel pain, swelling, limited movement, sometimes accompanied by snapping, locking and other symptoms. Water can cause obvious swelling of the knee joint, affecting the range of motion of the joint. Diagnosis can be confirmed by detailed medical history, physical examination, imaging examination, etc. MRI is highly accurate in diagnosing meniscal injuries. For mild meniscal injuries, conservative treatment may be initiated, including rest, ice, compression bandages, elevation of the affected limb, and medication. Severe injuries may require surgical treatment, such as meniscal repair or resection.
