Meniscus tear
The meniscus can tear if the knee is twisted under heavy load. This makes a meniscus tear one of the most common knee injuries in sports, especially in ball sports such as football.
An operation is usually not advisable for a meniscus tear caused by wear and tear. It occurs in the course of life – but those affected usually do not even notice it. Wear-related meniscus damage is particularly common in people with knee osteoarthritis. Here it is crucial to exercise the knee regularly and to treat the knee osteoarthritis well.
Causes meniscus tear
The most common cause of a meniscus tear is twisting of the bent knee joint. This can happen in sports that involve a twisting and falling motion. These include skiing and ball sports such as football, basketball, volleyball and handball. Excess weight or excessive stress such as frequent heavy lifting are also possible triggers.
Wear and tear of the cartilage structure is also a natural side effect of getting older. This means that once the meniscus is worn out, even one wrong movement can lead to a meniscus tear.
Symptoms
The symptoms depend on the size of the meniscus tear. A small meniscus tear is not always noticed immediately, as the pain only develops after a few hours or even days. Affected people then feel an out-of-round movement when bending and stretching the knee. An injury-related meniscus tear manifests itself as pain when rotating and bending the knee. In addition, the knee may swell. Some people also experience a popping or cracking sound.
Diagnosis
For diagnosis, the doctor asks how the injury occurred and what complaints exist. During the subsequent examination, the knee is carefully palpated to check where there is pain.
During further examinations, the knee is bent and rotated. Pressure is applied to the different areas of the meniscus. When the bent leg is stretched, a snap can sometimes be felt, which can indicate a meniscus tear.
Treatment meniscus tear
A meniscus tear that does not lead to jams or blockages in the knee can be successfully treated without surgery. To do this, the knee should first be immobilised until the pain and swelling go down. In addition, the knee should be cooled for the first few days after the injury. Knee-straining movements such as squatting as well as twisting and larger bending movements should best be avoided.
Another therapy approach is the Spectra-H lux. The laser therapy device is based on four simultaneously working energy sources (soft laser, magnetic field, red and infrared light), whose combined effect sustainably alleviates pain and increases the chances of a quick rehabilitation.
This is because the Spectra-H lux acts on the treated area in different ways – including the release of endorphins and enzymes that have an anti-inflammatory effect. The fact that the treatment is non-invasive and without side effects makes the Spectra-H lux an indispensable aid in the fight against meniscus pain.
