    I think I may have experienced a spontaneous bucket handle tear tonight. After my very involved nightly leg workout, I suddenly started to walk without any locking or catching or pain. My knee that had not bent since my injury suddenly performs like the opposite leg. If this should end right now, I’m eternally grateful for few hours I have been able to walk and feel normal again! I have had a bucket handle tear 6 months. It is so big, that the Dr wanted 80% medial meniscus and 50-75% of the body/root. All in addition to a partially torn ACL. I am currently scheduled for surgery in one month. I’ll give it a few days and see how it feels. - for every good and perfect gift comes from the Lord. (James 1:17)

    Hi! Dr. I have a 2.3-3 mm radial tear on anterior horn and the body of lateral meniscus.
    Will it heal it's own with Rice method or do I need a surgery?
    Want to get back into sports at the earliest.
    Please suggest what's the best option for me.

      Mine is too I was told it was just dislocated knee. It still stays swollen at the knee area both sides with excruciating pain. PT has made it worse. MRI should rule out what's going on with your knee. Hope you feel better.

    So i injured my knee on the job. Because of workers comp insurance it took 2 months before i found out it was a bucket handle tear. In those 2 months, im walking around (limping) and doing very basic every day tasks. My concern is that over this period of time i may have further damaged the meniscus. Is this a possibility? Or is 2 months a common period of time to be semi-mobile?

      @@stopgeo_engineering They ended up cutting out the damaged portion. It has been around 9 months since surgery. The knee is mostly back to normal. The only issue i have is kneeling on that knee. Putting all my weight on it in a kneeling fashion is still painful. Other than that i can walk and run just fine. It took some time to build the muscle back up on that leg. Due to the length of time from injury to physical therapy i had lost a significant portionnof muscle mass.

      @@superskateboardingentertai9228 my injury happened about 5 weeks ago. It was around 7-10 days that the pain 90% went away. Good luck with your surgery regardless. I am worried about having surgery for my bucket handle tear because i see a lot of people posting or mentioning how they re injured it in less than a year. So stitch me up and theyll break and i’ll just need surgery again or remove the meniscus and then im guaranteed arthritis later in life. It just seems like a losing situation with either option smh.

      In some aspects its even worse than before the surgery. In others its better... Im doing some excercise - starting really slowly and taking it easy now, cause I have already hurt myself 2-3 times since the surgery by putting too much load to the knee... I mean, its very fragile now and especially the muscles on my femur are so weak now.... I imagined it easier. But I still have hopes in a complete recovery within next spring.

      Thank you for responding. Now that a year has gone by, I’m very curious to know how your knee is doing. I’m going into surgery very soon for a partial meniscectomy to treat a large bucket handle tear. I’m not sure I want to go through this, I’m 46 and used to be very fit and active. Please respond so that I might know how to best proceed with this discussion that I must make. Thank you!

      carlorocky I had surgery a year ago on a bucket handle tear & they removed 70% of meniscus! It was mangled as I had been waiting a long time & was too active, so prolly made it worse. I’m 43 btw. Now, a year later, I’ve been slack with my boring physio exercises but have been hiking, cycling, & gym heaps. Can’t run or jump due to impact. It’s pretty achey most days but that’s coz I push it way too much. I highly recommend doing all physiotherapy exercises & do as much swimming as possible- it’ll help reduce pain a lot. Good luck. Let us know how u go.

    • @carlorocky
      @carlorocky 5 лет назад

  • @julesrichard

    I knelt down for about 5 minutes, then I attempted to stand. I could not straighten my right knee. This particular time, I knelt legs apart, about 90 degree (this is an average kneeling position for me). There is a pain when I attempt to straighten, on the inner lower part of the knee cap. It feels that something is blocking my knee from straightening. I never had any knee injuries. This just happened after kneeling for about five minutes, then trying to stand. This really sucks. I am reading this and that, and seems that there might be a locked knee situation (torn MCL)? I'm not sure. If I do not attempted to straighten my right knee, all else feels normal. Bucket handle tear? I'm 51 y/o. Thanks....

      Wander von der Seele Your choices are really menisectomy or repair. That is if it is repairable, which is highly unlikely. Menisectomy is a short recovery time though so you should be fine.
