Regarding meniscus injuries: function can return to normal if it can be sutured and if the suture heals. Whether or not it can be sutured depends on the type of rupture, the extent of the injury, and the damage. Too long a time, little possibility of suture, all suture after limiting activities for a long time, and not all suture after normal healing. Yan Xinfeng, Joint Specialty Center, Thousand Buddha Mountain Hospital, Shandong Province The meniscus has its function, and its removal has an effect on the joint, so now it is only the removal of its ruptured part and shaping. Surgery success rate is high. Your tangle is easy to unravel if you consider it from a different angle. What happens if you don’t have surgery? Pain, popping, and strangulation affect function, and accelerate damage to the cartilage in the joint. So your choice is accelerated cartilage damage or mitigated damage, not damage and no damage to articular cartilage.
