What is the disease of medial meniscus injury?

Medial meniscus injury is a common knee joint injury.

Medial meniscus injury is usually caused by violent actions such as torsion and compression of the knee joint. For example, sudden change of direction during exercise, sudden stop, or violent impact of the knee joint under weight. Patients will experience knee pain, especially during flexion and extension activities, which may be accompanied by swelling, snapping, locking, etc., and may affect the mobility of the knee joint in severe cases. A detailed medical history, physical examination, combined with imaging examinations such as knee MRI, can clarify the extent and specific conditions of medial meniscus injury. For mild medial meniscus injury, conservative treatment can be taken first, such as rest, braking, cold compress, hot compress, drug therapy, etc., to alleviate symptoms and promote recovery. Severe injuries, especially those with significant tears or entrapment, may require surgery, such as meniscectomy or meniscectomy.
