ACUTE MENISCAL TEAR
FROM HIGH HEELS
I recently saw a patient who I had seen two weeks before for acute severe knee
pain. At that time the patient was unable to walk because weight-bearing on her
left knee was impossible due to severe pain, which she graded an 8 out of a
maximum ten point scale.
ACUTE MENISCAL
TEAR
Recently I did the first follow up session for a patient I had initially
seen two weeks before for acute severe knee pain.
At that time the patient was unable to walk because weight bearing on her
left knee was impossible due to severe pain, which she graded an 8 out of a
maximum ten point scale.
Meniscal Injury
and Prolotherapy
By knowing the function of the meniscus, it is possible to predict what will
happen when meniscal tissue is shaved or removed. Since it provides some of the
nutrition to the articular cartilage,
its removal will aid in the demise of the cartilage. If the
cartilage is damaged, then the pressures on the bone will be
too great and arthritis will soon follow.
Bucket Handle Meniscus
Tear
The lateral and medial menisci sit between the femur and
tibia bones. They are the shock absorbers in the knee. As
such do you think it is a good idea to have them removed?
