Meniscus Repair Surgery in India
In the younger population, your knee meniscus is
usually torn traumatically, by a twisting on a
slightly flexed knee. The traumatic type of
meniscal injuries are most often sports-related.
The meniscus can be torn anterior to posterior,
radially (parrot beak), or can have a bucket
handle appearance. In the older adult, the tear
may be due to a natural age-related degeneration
of the meniscus or a rough arthritic femoral bone
surface tearing into the softer meniscus. In this
case, surgery may be required to attend to both
the meniscal repair and to repair the damaged
joint surface.Depending on the type of meniscus
tear, meniscus repair be complicated. A large
meniscus tear that is inadequately treated may
cause premature degenerative bony (arthritis)
changes.

Signs and symptoms of Meniscus Tear
You might experience a "popping" sensation when
you tear the meniscus. Most people can still walk
on the injured knee and many athletes keep
playing. When symptoms of inflammation set in,
your knee feels painful and tight. For several
days you have Stiffness and swelling.
Tenderness in the joint line. Collection of
fluid ("water on the knee"). Without
treatment, a fragment of the meniscus may loosen
and drift into the joint, causing it to slip, pop
or lockyour knee gets stuck, often at a
45-degree angle, until you manually move or
otherwise manipulate it.

Diagnosis of Meniscus
Tear
The doctor will initiate diagnosis by enquiring
about your symptoms and medical history.
Diagnosis is confirmed with the help of imaging
tests such as X-ray and MRI. The doctor will
initiate diagnosis by enquiring about your
symptoms and discussing your medical history. He
will then physically examine your knee and will
check for tenderness, along the joint line where
the meniscus is situated, as it is indicative of
a tear. The McMurray test is the most
significant test for meniscal tears. To carry out
this test, the doctor will bend your knee, then
straighten it after which it will be rotated to
exert tension on the meniscus. In case of a tear,
a clicking sound will be heard during this
movement. Pain, or an inability to squat will
allow your doctor to localize the injury. To
confirm the diagnosis, imaging tests such
as X-ray and MRI are recommended.

Meniscus Tear Treatment in India

Non-surgical Treatment  Rest. Take rest. You
may have to take a break from all activities that
put pressure on your knee. Your doctor may advise
that you use crutches while moving around, to
avoid putting weight on your injured
leg.  Ice. Use ice packs for 20 minutes at a
time, several times through the day. Use a towel
when applying ice. Avoid applying ice directly on
the skin.  Compression. Wear an elastic
compression bandage around the knee to prevent
additional swelling.  Elevation. Recline with
your leg placed on a higher level than your
heart, to reduce swelling.

Surgical Treatment
  • If your symptoms continue to persist despite
    non-surgical treatment, your may have to undergo
    surgery. Knee arthroscopy is a commonly performed
    surgical procedure. Here, a small camera is
    inserted through a tiny incision to generate a
    clear view of the inside of the knee.
  • After surgery, your knee will be put in a cast or
    brace to restrict movement. Using crutches, while
    moving around, will help to take the pressure off
    your leg. After healing is initiated you may have
    to do strengthening exercises and exercises to
    improve your motility and range of motion.
  • With proper treatment, and rehabilitation patients
    often return to their normal lives.
