2. Torn cartilage in knee is also known as Meniscus Injuries, because it is often cause the meniscus of
our knee to be torn. It can occur suddenly that many are often surprised when it happened to. Actually,
there are two main reasons that cause the injuries to happen below
- The first one is because the cartilage starts to get old and over-wear. It then causes the cartilage to be
torn apart as it is being used without care. This type of torn cartilage usually happens to old people that
have surpassed the age of 50. If you are above 50 and have suffered from a damage in the knee, it is
advisable to avoid wearing high heels. There are chances of the patella rubbing against the femur due to
low collagen around the patella, which is common amongst old people. This can lead to Patellofemoral
Pain Syndrome, which can be avoided by not overexerting while climbing descending slopes and not
wearing high heels.
- The second reason for this kind of injury is the extreme pressure to the knee that causes the cartilage
to be torn. It usually happens because of a bad landing or when there is a bad twirl in the knee area.
Most people with a torn cartilage also have ligament damage. Injuries can occur from contact sports,
sudden injury, pivoting or twisting the knee.
A Torn cartilage in knee generally produces pain in the area of the tear and swelling in the knee joint.
These symptoms are made worse with pivoting motions, squatting, and vigorous activities. Torn
meniscus fragments can get caught in the knee joint and cause catching sensations. If a large enough
fragment becomes lodged between the bearing surfaces, the knee may lock, and become unable to be
fully bent or extended.
The most Signs of torn cartilage include a swelling in and around the knee, accompanied with pain
while walking or otherwise using the knee. The second common symptom includes ‘joint locking’. Joint
locking is a condition where a person finds it difficult to bend and straighten the knee as the cartilage
gets lodged with the knee-joint.
As soon as you know you’ve injured your knee, either see your sports medicine doctor immediately, or
go to the emergency room for testing and treatment. After you tell the doctor how the injury happened,
he will order x-rays and possibly an MRI to determine the extent of injury. You may need arthroscopic
surgery to remove any ragged edges or loose floaters to prevent further damage. Your knee will be
placed in a cast or brace, with or without surgery.
After the initial injury and treatment for the torn meniscus, you’ll need to use price to heal. Protect the
injured knee, Rest the injured knee, Ice the swollen knee, Compress the injured knee and Elevate the
injured knee. Protection, Rest and Elevation help to keep the knee from further injury, while Ice and
Compression bandages help to reduce swelling. After the initial price treatment, your doctor will order
rehab and physical therapy exercises to gradually improve weight bearing, strength and flexibility.
