As for whether to have surgery, as long as the meniscus injury is confirmed, there is no such thing as quack surgery. As mentioned above, the meniscus has no regenerative function! I just can't get back to before the injury! After the meniscus injury, it will be fine if it is cured. There is no persistent inflammation or soft tissue hyperplasia and no effusion. On the contrary, if there is inflammation, there are meniscus or soft tissue fragments inside the joint, which will produce a lot of effusion. Knee arthroscopy must be done (minimally invasive surgery)! After this operation, there were no accidents and no need for a lot of drugs. Mainly to go to inflammation for a few days! There are two holes in the knee joint, and one hole is sewn with a needle! As mentioned above, postoperative disability means that there is no possibility of recovery before injury, which means that there is no means of recovery!
What I can do after the operation is to turn strenuous activities like sports and basketball that I used to like into a quiet hobby! Only in this way can the injured leg be raised, otherwise, because the joint contact of the injured leg is not as close as before, the ligament is also slack, and the joint is easy to be injured during exercise, and the injured joint is easy to become inflamed and produce effusion! If there is effusion, it is even more inconvenient to move! At least squatting is inconvenient!
It's not alarmist to say these things! You will definitely have arthritis when you are old, depending on how well you raise it. If you raise it late, it won't hurt so much. If you don't take good care of it, it will hurt early! Just want to get your attention! Otherwise, you may get out of a wheelchair after you are 60 years old!
