Then here is all that you need to know about your knees and your injuries.
Knee joints and the surrounding area being active participants in the voluntary movements of legs and being a prominent region for a number of tendons, ligaments, bones and tissues are often the victim of numerous injuries. Meniscus tear and ACL injury being the popular ones in the long chart.
What is a Meniscus Tear?
Meniscus is a wedge shaped cartilage in the knee joint formed by the union of the lower end of thigh bone femur and the head of Tibia and fibula which are two most important bones in the lower limb. Meniscus is known for supporting stable movements. They are also at times subjected to gradual degeneration in older people. It cushions the knee joint and helps in body weight balancing on legs as well.
Meniscus is a wedge shaped cartilage in the knee joint formed by the union of the lower end of thigh bone femur and the head of Tibia and fibula which are two most important bones in the lower limb. Meniscus is known for supporting stable movements. They are also at times subjected to gradual degeneration in older people. It cushions the knee joint and helps in body weight balancing on legs as well.
Meniscus tear is caused due to twisted joints, sudden halt during physical movements or activities like running, high jump etc. According to the damage, it is characterized as lateral test, medial tear, Radial tear, and Bucket handle tear. The intensity of damage differs depending on the age,type of tear,and symptoms in the patient and also depending on if an ACL injury is also present.
What is an ACL injury?
The ACL is a strong band of tissue that connects the femur to the shinbone Tibia at the knee. They are the primary ligaments which provide torsional stability to your knee joint. The injury of the band could come out to be either partial or a complete tear. ACL injuries are most common in sports like basketball, football, and skiing.
What can be the Major Symptoms?
The damage of tissue brings out the responses like a feeling of ‘popping’ sensation, locking of knee, loss of range of motion, and immobility along with pain and inflammation.
How is it Diagnosed?
Diagnosis of the damage is mostly done via MRI scan or an X-ray. We can go with a conservative trial and supervised physiotherapy or in extreme cases, arthroscopic surgeries are also recommended as an excellent prognosis.The fact is that an ACL injury demands for a longer period of rehabilitation along with reconstructive therapy. We can see people returning to their athletic life in under a month even though they had a torn meniscus. They might have undergone arthroscopic surgery but not complete replacement therapy. Either way the recovery or mode of treatment differs with the intensity of damage.
How can Ayurveda help?
The surgeries are the common treatment which people opt in the case of injuries, but no surgery has a good consequence in the long run. The damages affecting the knee region could be avoided to a great extent via lifestyle modification, trained and careful movement of legs,as well as by providing strength to bones and muscles of lower limbs.
