Treat Meniscus injury without surgery

 

There are different types of meniscus tears — some tears heal on their own while others require surgical treatment. If the tear is in the inner two-thirds, which lack blood flow, the tear cannot be repaired and may need to be trimmed or removed surgically. However, if the tear is on the outer one-third of the meniscus, chances are it may heal on its own because it has a rich blood supply that helps in regenerating meniscus tissue — or help it heal after surgical repair. The non-surgical treatment for tears that can heal on their own may include:
• Physical therapy
• RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation
• Anti-inflammatory medications

For more severe tears, surgery is typically the best course of treatment. Let your Orthopedic surgeon take the decision on the kind of treatment after examining the knee.

Consult Dr. Biren Nadkarni, a Senior Orthopedic Consultant and Surgeon, if you feel pain, swelling or stiffness, it could be Meniscus Tear that may require surgery.
