The meniscus is the plate of cartilage in the knee joint that plays an important role in increasing the stability of the joint, and there are pros and cons to meniscus replacement.
Meniscus replacement can quickly improve a range of symptoms caused by meniscus injuries. For example, pain and limitation of movement due to swelling of the knee joint can be quickly relieved. The meniscus replacement can improve the motion function of the knee because the newly replaced meniscus can reduce friction, cushion vibration, and stabilize the joint.
However, there will be mismatch of the artificial meniscus in the process of movement. Moreover, after implantation of the artificial replacement meniscus, the stability may be poorer compared to the previous meniscus, and even the meniscus may be displaced.
For meniscus replacement, the stage of the disease and the treatment method will be different depending on your condition. It is recommended to combine the clinical examination with standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
