The bulge on the inner side of the knee may be caused by meniscus cyst, knee joint effusion, osteoarthritis, etc. Corrective treatment can be targeted according to the specific disease.
1. Meniscus cyst: usually after the appearance of cystic tissue in the meniscus tissue, a bulge may be formed on the inner side of the knee, and the local cyst has the possibility of gradually increasing, usually requiring minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery to remove the diseased tissue.
2. Knee joint effusion: Generally, when there is effusion in the knee joint, the inner side of the knee will be swollen and bulging, etc. Arthrocentesis can be performed to extract the effusion, and physical therapy can be used to alleviate the bulging on the inner side of the knee.
3. Osteoarthritis: After osteoarthritis occurs, the medial edge of the tibial plateau will proliferate and may form a bulge on the inner side of the knee. When the disease has progressed to a certain extent, artificial joint replacement may be needed to eliminate the bulge on the inner side of the knee.
If you need to correct the bulge on the inner side of the knee, it is recommended that you go to the hospital and receive targeted treatment under the guidance of your doctor to avoid blind treatment and delay of your condition.
