Meniscus Tear Treatment at Gangnam NANOORI Hospital
What is Meniscus Tear ?
A meniscus tear is a common knee injury that can cause significant pain, swelling, and limited mobility. It occurs when the cartilage, known as the meniscus, in the knee joint is torn, often due to twisting motions or sudden changes in direction during physical activity. At Gangnam NANOORI Hospital in Seoul, we specialize in diagnosing and treating meniscus tears to help you regain full knee function and return to an active lifestyle.
Symptoms of a Meniscus Tear
A meniscus tear can present with the following symptoms:
- Pain in the knee, especially when twisting or rotating the leg
- Swelling or stiffness
- Limited range of motion
- Feeling of instability or the knee "giving way"
- Difficulty in fully straightening the knee
If you experience these symptoms, it's essential to seek medical attention at Gangnam NANOORI Hospital to get an accurate diagnosis and the right treatment.
Causes of Meniscus Tears
Meniscus tears often occur due to:
- Sudden twisting or pivoting movements during sports
- Overuse or wear-and-tear from aging
- Direct impact or trauma to the knee joint
Diagnosis of Meniscus Tear
At Gangnam NANOORI Hospital, we use advanced diagnostic techniques to assess the extent of your meniscus tear. Our team employs:
- Physical examinations to check for signs of a tear
- MRI scans to visualize the knee’s cartilage and identify the tear’s size and location
Treatment Options for Meniscus Tear
Depending on the severity and location of the meniscus tear, treatment options vary. Our knee specialists at Gangnam NANOORI Hospital offer personalized treatment plans, which may include:
- Conservative Treatment:
- Rest, ice, and elevation to reduce swelling
- Physical therapy to improve strength and mobility
- Medications to manage pain and inflammation
- Minimally Invasive Surgery:
