Meniscal injuries in the elderly begin with a painful sensation in the knee joint, which is significantly worse after weight-bearing activities. Patients may experience limited knee motion, and in some cases, the knee may become stuck when moving the knee, which means that the meniscus may become interlocked or embedded. The clinical examination may be positive for McSweeney’s sign, a positive grind test, and an MRI of the knee joint to confirm the diagnosis. The main treatment is to reduce the weight bearing, pay attention to rest and not to catch cold, and to apply blood pain relief cream to the knee joint or take oral medications such as chondroitin hydrochloride and glucosamine sulfate.
