Meniscus Arthroscopy: Cases of Application

Patients with any injuries and diseases of the knee menisci are accepted for treatment in the orthopedic department of Top Ihilov, including:

• Meniscus tear, Tear of the intermeniscal ligaments
• Meniscus tears in the transchondral zone
• Meniscus detachment in the paracapsular zone
• Degeneration of the knee meniscus
• Meniscus cyst, Cystic degeneration of the knee meniscus

The most common cause of meniscus injury is an indirect or combined trauma, accompanied by subluxation of the shin, known as a sports injury. Meniscus damage also occurs with sudden bending of the knee joint from its initially bent position. Less frequently, meniscus damage occurs due to direct trauma.

Knee Arthroscopy: Healthy Leg in 2 Days

In cases of meniscus damage, therapeutic treatment is applied, the blockade of the knee joint is eliminated, and physiotherapy is conducted. If the blockade of the knee joint cannot be eliminated after therapeutic treatment, and if the patient is constantly troubled by joint pain and difficulties in walking, surgical treatment is performed.

Knee arthroscopy is performed under a tourniquet, so blood loss is minimal, which is very important during reconstructive surgeries on joints. After the surgeries, minimal wounds remain, which heal much faster.

Early recovery after arthroscopic surgeries allows for a reduced hospital stay. By the second day, the patient can stand on the operated leg, and stitches are removed on the tenth day.

In cases of degenerative processes, tears with displacement, horizontal separations, and complex injuries, knee joint endoprosthetics is performed - a surgery to replace the destroyed, worn out, or disease-affected knee joint with an artificial joint.

In the postoperative period, the patient is recommended to undergo an individual rehabilitation course. The Top Ihilov Clinic has a rehabilitation center where patients can undergo a full rehabilitation course and return to an active lifestyle.
