What Does A Meniscus Tear Feel Like?

 

The meniscus is a Crescent-shaped cartilage that acts as a shock absorber between the shinbone and the thighbone. It can be torn due to sudden twists or degenerative changes that happen due to age. In fact, a meniscal tear is one of the most common knee injuries.

 

Symptoms of a meniscus tear include:

• Pain in the knee

• Swelling

• A popping sensation during the injury

• Difficulty in bending and straightening the leg

• Feeling of Knee lock up or Knee get stuck

 

In the beginning, the pain may manageable. But once the inflammation sets in, your knee will probably hurt quite a bit.

What is the difference between Arthroscopy and Arthroplasty?

 

Arthroscopy is a minimal-invasive procedure involving a tiny incision to allow the insertion of a state-of-the-art scope to look into your affected joint. The scope has a camera on end to transmit images to a monitor for surgeons to view. The second incision allows orthopedic surgeons to insert small instruments to assess, diagnose and even treat issues with joints immediately. Arthroscopy can be performed on joints including knees, hips, shoulders, ankles, elbows, and wrists.

On the other hand, Arthroplasty is more commonly known as joint replacement surgery. It is a major open surgery in which the degenerative joints are replaced with an artificial joint. The surgery aims to relieve joint pain and increase the range of movement, thereby helping to improve mobility.

Consult Dr. Biren Nadkarni, a Senior Orthopedic Consultant, and Surgeon, to know more about the options you can opt to relieve the pain. He will be available in person at his clinic - Joint & Bone Solutions situated at Hauz Khas, New Delhi. Dr. Biren can also be reached at Sitaram Bhartia Institute and Holy Family Hospital also.

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.

What does the ACL injury involve?

 

ACL reconstruction surgery is an arthroscopic (small incisions) procedure in which torn or damaged ACL is replaced with tendon tissue. The tendon graft is usually harvested and prepared from hamstring muscles from the patient's own body.

In this procedure, the surgeon will make two to three small incisions around the knee and insert an arthroscope into the knee joint to inspect the ligament injury. Once the damage is confirmed, the surgeon will remove the torn ACL and put a tendon graft in its place.
 
Follow the instructions provided by your doctor for fast recovery and stability of your knee.

𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝟏-𝟑: Rest, good nutritional intake, and use of ice can help in strength gain and faster recovery.
𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝟒-𝟔: By the end of week 6, the patient may feel the greatest recovery as remodeling of the tendon replacement, or graft, occurs.
𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝟔-𝟏𝟐: During this phase, the knee gains its full functional strength to handle the stress. Patients can indulge in more activity-specific strengthening and weight-bearing exercises.
𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝟑-𝟔:Full healing has occurred and the knee has gained sufficient strength to enable patients to return to high-impact activities.
𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝟔-𝟏𝟐: Improving strength and functionality allows Orthopedic Surgeon and his team to clear patients for daily normal activities or sports.

How long does one take to return to work after ACL Surgery?

 

An ACL rupture is a significant injury and one must commit himself to a rehabilitation program after an ACL reconstruction surgery to maximize the surgical outcome. Your physiotherapist will guide you through this rehab process considering your specific needs and your response to treatment.

• In the initial weeks, light exercises are recommended to restore joint motion and muscle function

• After 2 weeks, you might feel little or no pain. Try to include little heavy exercises to gain full knee extension

• After 6 weeks, strengthening exercises are included to strengthen quadriceps, hamstring, calf, and hip strength

• In between 6-12 weeks the focus will be on improving muscle strength, coordination, and balance

• At the 3 month mark you may begin exercises like running. However, keep watching the intensity of the exercise and do not overstress which may lead to reinjury

• Between 3-6 months, you should feel like your knee strength and function are improving every week. The focus should be to gradually return to pre-injury activities

• Most patients can expect to return to the demands of their sports and activities between 6-9 months after surgery.
