Top Tweets for #MENISCUS
Been recommended for a #partial #knee #replacement. #Meniscus tears, #arthritis & low cartilage are keeping me from keeping up. Work full time, am active & in my mid 50s. My dad was my same age when his was done decades ago. Would appreciate recovery advice on what to expect.
A torn #meniscus in a child should never be treated like an adult injury. The goal is to preserve as much healthy meniscus as possible. Why? Losing the entire meniscus can lead to early arthritis. Learn about treatment options: https://t.co/xYgBVmd27E #meniscustear #pediatrics
After #meniscectomy, ask more than, “Did the patient improve?” Ask: “What did we change biomechanically?” Resection can alter gait, joint loading and quadriceps function, with implications for articular cartilage. Preserve the #meniscus when possible. https://t.co/Af2oE1hXUZ
X-rays may provide the first clue to a #discoid #meniscus, while MRI helps define its shape and identify tears. However, Wrisberg-type #discoidmeniscus can be missed on a static #MRI because the instability may only appear when the #knee is moving. https://t.co/axP3amYk9w
Think #meniscus root tears only happen to athletes? Patients in their 50s are the largest group affected. A tear can occur during everyday activities like squatting, lifting or tying your shoe. A “pop” followed by worsening pain should not be ignored. https://t.co/LSJ0EgpngW
#Meniscus #trephination is one option for certain small #meniscustears. It uses a small needle to stimulate a healing response. Larger or unstable tears are generally better treated with meniscal repair. Best treatment depends on the tear & its stability. https://t.co/SM85fz8RKh
Medial #meniscustears can take many forms.
Longitudinal. Bucket-handle. Root. Parrot beak. Radial. Flap. Horizontal. Degenerative.
Understanding specific tear pattern is important for determining the right treatment approach. https://t.co/IeB36OoF7g #meniscus #sportsmedicine
المنظار لا يعالج الاحتكاك .. والركبة ذات الغضاريف المهترئة تزداد سوءً بعد المنظار الا في اضيق الضروف

Knee pain, swelling, stiffness or a feeling that your knee is “stuck” may be signs of #MeniscusDeficiency. Difficulty bending or straightening the knee can also occur. Knowing the symptoms can help you know when to seek an evaluation. https://t.co/HSXnaHCpHQ #meniscus
Fast Relief for Inner Knee Pain (Meniscus or Arthritis)

Technically successful #meniscusrootrepair can still fail if the #meniscus is not restored anatomically. Research defines importance of reduction, fixation strategy, stability to optimize healing and protect knee biomechanics! https://t.co/geX585njP9 #orthotwitter
Degenerative meniscal tears are common on MRI. But does removing them help?
In the FIDELITY sham-controlled RCT, arthroscopic partial meniscectomy offered no benefit over sham surgery.
10-year follow-up: no benefit, possible harm.
Not every tear needs fixing.

#Ortho
Corticosteroid injections for knee OA still have a role, but set expectations.
Pain relief is typically short-lived (up to ~3 months).
For lasting outcomes, physical therapy still comes out ahead.

#Meniscus #trephination may help select small, stable tears, but it is not a substitute for repairing unstable tears. If a tear is unstable during arthroscopic probing, repair is preferred. Inside-out vertical mattress sutures remain a proven technique. https://t.co/jutGtW5LXI
A #meniscustear may seem like a short-term injury, but its effects can last for years. When #meniscus tissue is lost, stress on the knee increases, raising the risk of cartilage damage and #osteoarthritis. Preserving the meniscus matters whenever possible. https://t.co/LRMQ1EuxHE
Sports injuries are an area of interest for me;
A #meniscus tear causes mechanical symptoms such as:
- Locking of the knee
- Catching or clicking sensations
- Joint pain
- Swelling
- Difficulty fully bending or straightening the knee
So, the answer is A 😉
🦵 Musculoskeletal Injury Question
A patient with a meniscus tear is most likely to report which symptom?
A. Locking or catching of the knee
B. Numbness in the foot
C. Inability to plantarflex the ankle
D. Shoulder pain with overhead activity
