Post meniscal sutures are primarily used to hold the torn meniscus in place, usually with non-absorbable thread that will remain in the joint.
If a torn meniscus injury occurs, you should work with a medical professional to perform meniscus suture surgery as soon as possible after a clear diagnosis is made by MRI. In order to fix the torn meniscus, non-absorbable sutures are usually used during the surgery. Even if the meniscus gradually heals and recovers, the non-absorbable stitches will not be absorbed and will remain in the joint.
It is important to note that after the meniscus is sutured, it is important to follow the doctor’s instructions to take a rest and not to go down to the ground too soon, especially not to do deep squatting or weight-bearing activities to avoid the suture line breaking. Moreover, during the recovery period, it is recommended to go to the hospital regularly to check the healing and recovery of the meniscus, and carry out rehabilitation training under the guidance of professional doctors to promote the recovery of meniscus function.
