The first thing to understand about lateral meniscus degeneration is the cause of the degeneration. Degeneration of the lateral meniscus occurs with age, and later, after prolonged and excessive wear and tear, meniscal degeneration can occur. Patients with meniscal degeneration often experience joint pain, or even popping or locking in some cases. For the management of lateral meniscus degeneration, patients with mild symptoms can often choose conservative treatment. Strict attention is paid to rest and protection, and medications that activate blood stasis and nourish cartilage are applied, such as Shu Shu Shu Blood Tablets and Glucosamine Hydrochloride. If the deformation of the lateral meniscus is very severe, with obvious symptoms of interlocking compression when walking, it is necessary to actively perform arthroscopic surgery. Usually, the meniscus degeneration is treated by trimming and shaping the meniscus.
