Does walking normally aggravate a meniscus injury

1 Most meniscus injuries are caused by various sports, such as skiing falls, tripping on stumps while walking, playing soccer, etc. Due to extension and flexion, rotation plus external rotation, the medial meniscus is stretched, which can easily cause longitudinal and marginal tears. Regardless of the severity of the symptoms, it is recommended that the patient rests and avoids walking to avoid secondary injury. 2. For patients with meniscus injuries, normal walking, because of the pressure of the body weight, when walking will have a compression effect on the meniscus, especially the weight of patients, more obvious, so it is recommended that patients with meniscus injuries need to reduce weight. 3. Although there is some damage to the injured meniscus when walking normally, it should also be clearly stated that such damage is limited and very mild. It is much less than the damage from jumping, climbing and playing sports. 4. For patients with very severe meniscus injuries, arthroscopic meniscus repair or meniscoplasty, for example, can be performed. Bed rest and absolute braking should also be used after the surgery to avoid affecting the outcome of the surgery. Regular review is recommended for the above patients to determine the recovery of the meniscus, and they can walk normally after recovery. If meniscus injury occurs, it is recommended to go to the hospital and have regular treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
