Meniscus wear usually requires therapeutic intervention, otherwise it can worsen the wear and tear and develop conditions such as meniscus tears and osteoarthritis, causing serious conditions such as limited movement.
Meniscus wear requires different treatments depending on the specific degree of wear, which mainly include medication and surgery. If mild wear occurs with no discomfort, the meniscus and cartilage can usually be nourished with oral cartilage nourishing medication such as glucosamine sulphate capsules to promote repair, or by injecting sodium glutamate into the joint cavity to nourish the meniscus and cartilage.
If the wear is more severe, with significant joint popping and restricted movement during activity, surgical treatment via arthroscopy is required to remove the diseased meniscus if necessary.
