For patients with 3rd degree meniscus injury, if there is no pain in the knee joint, no strangulation and compression, it can also be observed, if there are symptoms or consider arthroscopic surgical treatment.
A 3rd degree meniscus injury suggests that the patient has developed a total meniscus disruption. It is important to see if symptoms develop. If there is no pain in the knee joint, no strangulation or compression, it can be observed temporarily without surgery.
If there is joint pain and limitation of movement, it will cause further destruction of the meniscus if not treated in time. For such patients, surgery is needed as soon as possible to shape and repair the meniscus, so that the surgery itself is very traumatic, and the patient’s recovery after the operation is relatively fast.
Surgery is recommended if the patient meets the indications for surgery. Specific instructions should be followed by the doctor.
