I had to wait a year between injuring my knee and getting and MRI and for the most part I had no trouble with day to day activities
I disrupted my knee several times during that period standing up from a chair, and it would also happen sometimes if I did a deep squat or knee bend.
My MRI showed a torn acl and a partially torn meniscus.
Symptoms of a damaged/torn meniscus could be knee pain, swelling of the knee, tenderness when touching the meniscus, popping or clicking with the knee, and limited motion of the knee joint.
The ACL repair may have been damaged or torn. It may also be a meniscus tear. When you tear your meniscus, the knee seems to pop.
medial collateral, medial meniscus, and anterior cruciate
It's not muscles that are damaged bad enough to end a player's career but meniscus and ligaments. The more common injuries are to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and meniscus (cartilage). Severe ligament or meniscus injuries require surgery to repair and it is possible to damage all three at the same time. An single injury to meniscus is generally not considered career threatening but an injury to the ACL and/or MCL certainly can be.
It is when the cartilage in the knee called the meniscus is torn apart. this is also confused with an over-sized meniscus (which i have). it comes with pain, instability, and the sensation of giving out. The meniscus may heal or may not. Surgery to get the meniscus repaired is possible. the injury will most likely not take you out of a sport such as football or baseball.
parts of it are still standing today. some of it was damaged during earthquakes, but it is still there.
A mucoid complete tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus refers to a tear that involves the innermost part of the meniscus and is filled with thickened, gelatinous material. This type of tear can impact the stability and function of the knee joint, leading to symptoms like pain, swelling, and difficulty with range of motion. Treatment may involve rest, physical therapy, or in severe cases, surgery to repair or remove the damaged meniscus.
These can become damaged.
It is possible you have torn or damaged a ligament in your knee. This needs to be examined immediately. You can still walk even if certain ligaments are torn or damaged and if they don't heal properly it could lead to trouble down the road.
To fix a meniscal tear, arthroscopic surgery is commonly used. This minimally invasive procedure involves making small incisions and using a camera and specialized instruments to repair or remove the damaged meniscus. Depending on the tear's severity, the surgeon may either stitch the torn edges together or remove the damaged portion of the meniscus. Rehabilitation and physical therapy usually follow to restore function and strength.
The wall was damaged and would need some reinforcement to keep it standing for now.
A torn meniscus is unlikely to heal on its own because the blood supply to this cartilage is limited. In some cases, small tears may improve with rest and physical therapy, but more severe tears often require surgery to repair or remove the damaged tissue. It’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
