Who is a Good Candidate for Meniscus Repair?

Meniscus repair

Whether you were injured while playing an aggressive sport or from a fall while at home, a torn meniscus isn’t something that should be taken lightly. Thankfully, meniscus repair exists, and it may be just what you need to find relief.

Many people have sustained injuries to this vital body part and aren’t sure what it is. A meniscus is a thin piece of cartilage that rests between some joints in the body, such as the knee. Injuring this delicate area can cause issues for the entire leg, so it’s advised to seek professional help.

Based on the fact that the meniscus is very delicate cartilage, injury to this area can be extremely painful, to say the least. This type of trauma within the joints can cause serious stiffness or swelling and would need to be surveyed by a professional. This meeting is highly recommended as it will give you insight into your treatment options.

With some injuries, it can be obvious of certain remedies for correction. If you’ve had an accident and have only a small dash in the meniscus, it is possible that it may heal on its own. In any event, you’re going to want to seek the help of a doctor if you’ve hurt yourself.

Other injuries to the meniscus may be more serious than a simple tear to the cartilage. When it comes to meniscus repair, our doctor has to actually put the cartilage back together. There are certain tears that require delicate repair, and it specifically depends on the injury.

There are many people who have required repairs for their meniscus. Doctors who specialize in this sort of work are dedicated to not only correcting the injury, but also giving the patient back a normal life.

There are some key tips when correcting an injury to your meniscus. The very first step is to seek medical attention in order to determine the extent of your injury. Our professional will be able to determine exactly what was injured and what to do about it. Treatment options may or may not include meniscus repair.

Injuries can be disappointing, but taking the proper steps post-trauma can make all of the difference in the speed and success of your recovery. During a consultation at Angelo Mattalino, MD, you can learn more information about meniscus repair. Contact us today to schedule an appointment at our office in Phoenix!
