Did I have a meniscus injury?

Hello, in view of your situation, I suggest you continue to make a diagnosis to see if it is meniscus injury after X-ray.

Meniscal injuries are mostly caused by torsional external forces. When one leg is loaded and the calf is fixed in the semi-flexion booth, the body and thigh suddenly rotate inward, and the medial meniscus is between the femoral condyle and tibia, which is caused by the rotational pressure.

Diagnostic methods of meniscus injury.

1, most patients have a history of knee sprain.

2. When the knee joint is extended, there is a click in the knee joint.

3. There is a tearing sensation and murmur in the knee joint when injured, that is, severe pain, joint swelling and flexion and extension dysfunction. When walking and going up and down stairs, the pain of knee joint movement is obvious, and some patients may have soft knees and twisted legs.

4. During the examination, muscular atrophy of quadriceps femoris can be found, and there is tenderness in the knee joint space, and the knee joint cannot be overstretched or overstretched.

5. meniscus snap test (Maxwell's sign): the patient lies on his back, fully bends his hips and knees, and the examiner holds his feet with one hand and puts the other hand on his knees. First, the calf is rotated internally, then abduction is straightened, then the calf is rotated externally and abduction is straightened. It is positive if there is pain or click. Most patients are positive.

6. Abrasion test: The patient was prone and the affected knee flexed 90 degrees. The examiner presses the ankle hard and does rotary grinding. It is positive when there is pain in a certain position, and some cases can be positive. If necessary, take knee joint aerography, iodine solution radiography or arthroscopy.

The best treatment for meniscus injury is external application of black plaster. Starting from the overall concept of traditional Chinese medicine, the main principles of treating meniscus injury are swelling and pain relief, relaxing tendons and activating collaterals, and strengthening tendons and bones. The symptoms of joint pain and swelling can be eliminated by improving the blood microcirculation of the affected area and supplementing the nutrition of the surrounding tissues.
