What is a meniscus tear?

Meniscus is a ligament present between the knee joint that helps in maintaining knee mobility. When the meniscus gets torn because of any reason, the movement of the knee becomes restricted and results in pain while walking and bending knees. Typically, a meniscus tear occurs due to sports injury, awkward or sudden falls, osteoarthritis, etc.

Meniscus Tear Surgery In Mumbai

Diagnosis of a torn Meniscus  

An orthopedic doctor will conduct a physical examination. The examination is done to assess the severity of the condition. During the physical examination, the doctor checks the tenderness by putting slight pressure with a finger around the affected area. The doctor may also recommend a few diagnostic tests to get clear images of the damaged tissues and bone around the knee joint. The following are some imaging tests that can be advised-

  • MRI
  • X-Ray

Meniscus Repair Surgery 

Meniscus repair surgery is also known as Meniscectomy. The first step of the surgery takes place when an anesthetist administers anesthesia to make the area numb and in order to prepare it for surgery. Once the surgical site gets numb, an orthopedic surgeon will make a few tiny incisions to proceed with the determined meniscus repair surgery. The surgeon uses surgical instruments and puts them through the incisions to sew the meniscus tear or to remove the partially damaged meniscus from the affected knee joint. Once the surgery is completed, the surgical site is secured with a bandage to avoid any post-surgical complications.

How can you treat a torn meniscus at home?

The following are a few home remedies that may help you reduce discomfort and pain caused due to meniscus tear (mild to moderate)-

  • Rest the knee: Don’t put too much weight on the knee, especially if it’s painful. Use crutches when you have to move. Wear a brace on the joint whenever possible to reduce the pressure on the joint.
  • Ice the knee: Ice your knee for at least 20 to 30 minutes every 3 to 4 hours for at least 2 to 3 days after the injury till the swelling is gone.
  • Compress the joint: Compress the knee joint by wrapping it tightly with an elastic bandage or a neoprene-type sleeve. This helps control and reduce the swelling.
  • Elevate the knee: Elevate the knee by placing a pillow under your heel whenever you are sitting or lying down.
  • Take the pain and anti-inflammatory medications: Pain relievers or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), help reduce swelling in the injured joint. However, it is best to get a prescription from an orthopedic doctor near you before using such drugs.
  • Exercises: Perform stretching and strengthening exercises as directed by the doctor. This will help reduce stress on the knee joint. However, be careful about overstretching as that may exacerbate the injury.
  • Avoid high-impact activities:  Avoid high-impact activities such as running and jumping till the injury has fully healed.
