The role of the lunate plate is to stabilize the knee joint, disperse the load of the knee joint and promote intra-articular nutrition. Because the knee joint is heavily loaded and has a large amount of activity, it is easy to be injured, resulting in meniscus injury or pathological changes. Because there is no blood inside the meniscus itself, there is only blood circulation around it.
Meniscus tear's treatment methods are surgical and non-surgical. For the small-scale tear located in the vascular area, external fixation such as plaster and knee brace can be used for treatment. In addition, all kinds of tears need surgical treatment. Generally speaking, meniscus tear, which causes symptoms, mostly needs surgery.
Extended data:
Meniscus injury belongs to the category of "tendon injury" in traditional Chinese medicine, which is mainly caused by fatigue, trauma, infection and other reasons, such as low immunity, or insufficient viscera function, and wind, cold, dampness and evil invading the joints and meridians with blood stasis.
According to the etiology of meniscus injury and the overall concept of traditional Chinese medicine, Wuzhi Ointment treats meniscus injury with the main principles of relieving swelling and pain, relaxing tendons and activating collaterals, and strengthening tendons and bones. By improving the blood microcirculation of the affected area, supplementing the nutrition of surrounding tissues, eliminating the symptoms of joint pain and swelling, and strengthening the flexion and extension function of joints, the meniscus injury can be completely cured.
