My knee feels a bit pinched – Meniscus injuries during childhood and adolescence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Isolated injuries<\/strong> to the medial or lateral meniscus are rare<\/strong> during childhood and adolescence, but they do occur. Treatment options are more or less the same as for adults. The consequences of meniscus loss<\/strong>, however, even if only parts of the meniscus are lost, are far more dramatic<\/strong>. If an important shock absorber in the knee joint is lost, the development of arthrosis accelerates, and long-term outcomes may be rather unfavourable<\/strong>. Young people have the advantage of much better blood supply<\/strong> to the meniscus. As a result, the younger the patient, the greater the healing potential for meniscus injuries. It is therefore particularly important to take symptoms such as swelling and pain in <\/strong>the child\u2019s knee joint seriously and to have them examined adequately. An MRI examination<\/strong> is a suitable method for evaluating a child\u2019s meniscus. This is an examination without an x-ray beam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a meniscus injury is actually present, it can\u00a0usually be treated arthroscopically<\/strong>. During surgery, the meniscus will likely be\u00a0sutured<\/strong>\u00a0if there is a possibility to preserve the meniscus. In order to enable proper healing of the injured fibrous cartilage tissue, a splint is used to prevent too much movement and crutches protect against overstraining, depending on the shape of the tear. Unfortunately, even a healed meniscus is\u00a0not as resilient as\u00a0<\/strong>an uninjured one. Keep in mind, however, that every year that this important shock absorber can be preserved is valuable, even if a part may have to be removed later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
