What symptom does meniscus tear have

summary

Meniscus injury refers to a kind of limited pain in the knee or joint, and some patients will have the phenomenon of soft legs or knee joint locking. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the main symptoms of meniscus injury are quadriceps atrophy and limited tenderness of knee joint space fixation. There are many reasons for meniscus injury, but most of them are caused by external torsion force. When one leg is loaded and the leg is fixed in the semi flexion and abduction position, the body and the thigh will rotate abruptly. Because the medial meniscus is under the pressure of rotation between the femoral condyle and tibia, the meniscus tears. Now let's learn about the symptoms of meniscus tear.

What symptom does meniscus tear have

First, in case of meniscus injury, the knee should be placed in the semi flexion position at the time of examination in the hospital. In the medial and lateral space of the knee joint, along the upper edge of the tibial condyle (that is, the edge of the meniscus), the thumb should be pressed point by point from head to back, and there is fixed tenderness at the meniscus injury. Such as in the press at the same time, the knee passive flexion and extension or inside and outside rotation of the leg, the pain is more significant, sometimes can also touch the abnormal activity of the meniscus.

Second: during joint activity, there will be an obvious and verdant sound. During joint activity, obvious mass can be felt at the lateral meniscus. When pressing, there will be obvious pain. There will also be mucinous or variable meniscus cysts. Obvious mass will appear locally. When extending the knee, the mass is obvious.

Third: in supine position, the examinee holds one hand against the medial edge of the joint, controls the medial meniscus, and holds the foot with the other hand, so that the knee joint can be completely flexed, the lower leg can rotate outward and turn inward, and then the knee joint can be slowly extended, and the bounce or bounce can be heard or felt; Then hold the hand against the lateral edge of the joint, control the lateral meniscus, turn the leg inward and outward, slowly extend the knee joint, and hear or feel the bouncing or bouncing.
