There are many ways to recover from knee ligament rupture, mainly categorized into conservative and surgical treatments, which should be chosen according to one’s own situation.
1. Conservative treatment: Conservative treatment includes braking and fixation, physiotherapy, oral medication, etc. The medication is mainly non-steroidal drugs such as celecoxib and diclofenac sodium.
If you are an old patient, have serious osteoarthritis before the injury, or usually do not have high requirements for sports, you can consider conservative treatment. However, it should be noted that the stability of the joint cannot be restored to the level before the injury after conservative treatment.
2. Surgery: Surgery is recommended for young patients with high demand for sports. Currently, the more common surgical methods are incision repair and arthroscopic surgery. Arthroscopic surgery has a smaller incision but is more expensive, and it is worth noting that a certain amount of time is needed for rehabilitation after surgery to restore the level of sports.
Knee ligament rupture is recommended to consult the sports medicine department in time to choose a suitable treatment plan for yourself. The above medications should be used under medical supervision.
