I had the meniscus removed form my knee this last surgery, they were to cut a torn piece away but they removed it. This is my 2nd reocntructive surgery, can I not have any meniscus in my knee and still play Baseball this spring and summer? And if I do what is the long term effect to my knee without the meniscui?
The menisci of the knee and intervertebral discs both serve as important structures that provide cushioning and support in their respective joints. They are composed of fibrocartilage, which allows them to absorb shock and distribute weight evenly, helping to stabilize the joints during movement. Additionally, both structures play a role in enhancing joint stability and facilitating smooth motion, while also being prone to injury or degeneration over time.
Yes, it most definitely is! Speaking from a personal rather than professional experience, my brother tore his ACL and menisci from playing rugby. He had reconstructive surgery and after physiotherapy, was back placking football in 8 months.
Building a knee joint involves connecting the femur (thigh bone) to the tibia (shin bone) using ligaments and cartilage to provide stability and support. The knee joint is a hinge joint, allowing for flexion and extension, while the menisci act as shock absorbers. Proper alignment and biomechanics are essential to ensure smooth movement and prevent injuries. The surrounding muscles, tendons, and ligaments play crucial roles in maintaining joint function and stability.
friction is importent cause without it you can play baseball
All you need for equipment to play baseball, is a bat, glove, and a bat. if you are playing in an organized league, you need to buy a helmet, and you will probably want some batting gloves. If you are playing the position of catcher, you need to have a special catcher's glove, and catchers equipment, which consists of a catcher's mask, chest protector, and knee pads. (The knee pads cover from the knee to the top of the foot.)
It would be difficult to play either baseball or cricket without them
Softball would be one because most guys are all about Baseball but girls can play softball without guys complaining...
In the NFL, yes. If the QB, or any player, drops to a knee purposely the play is whistled dead.
You put your hand on your knee, then your foot (take a picture cause u will look cool)
Your activity level after surgery depends in your rehab and recovery. Your flexibility, strength, and weight all play key factors. If everything goes well, you should be able to play golf. You may have to modify your swing slightly to accommodate the manipulation of your knee. If you couldn't play before, Don't expect the knee to get you on the tour.
throw out your ps3 or xbox purchase a baseball glove and baseball bat and play baseball without pressing (X)
I sure hope so i am in that same situation! knee injury and i have the footdop!
