I am 33. had bucket handle meniscus tear year ago. It was surgically repaired, i went through 15 physical terapy sessions. During physical therapy period it used to get so swallen and so bad that i had to have an injection of cortisone. By the last terapy session it got good enough to live regular life without soccer or tennis i used to play. I occasionally get knee lock situations if i am pivoting and know how to put it back to unlock it. I talked to my surgeon he said that it looks like some part of repair failed but he cannot tell for sure (even after an mri) untill he goes with arthroscopic devjce in the joint... I now can't decide if i should just accept that i need another surgery..
I had a meniscus repair done 6 years ago. I have not been able to bend my knee. Have never regained full flexion or full range of motion. I had therapy after surgery but they never got me full range of motion. I have no swelling just painful when I walk. Please help…❤
Post op 2 years medial meniscus repair and i've not done rehab at all and my muscles are too weak and my inner knee hurts all the time,recently i've done MRI and it shows "grade 1 signal changes seen in posterior horn of medial meniscus and chronic partial thickness tear of ACL" the doctor didn't reconstruct my ACL

As you feel stronger, you can gradually increase both the range of motion and intensity. It’s best to do these exercises every day throughout the day.

I had meniscectomy in february, around 3 weeks later, during physiotherapy the physio forced my knee and I got a bruise in the inner side and behind the knee, during this months of recovery I never stopped having pain when walking (unless I walked extremely slow) or when doing any kind of impact exercise like lunges or jumping, any kind of twisting of the knee also hurts, like getting into a car. Now I did another MRI and I still have a tear, I am waiting for the follow-up consultation, but what are the chances of having to repeat the surgery?
I have a partial tear in my mpfl which is casuing some discomfort, do I really need to get any surgery for this? The mpfl tear happend 9 months ago and after 5 months of phyisical therapy I'm not noticing any improvement. Do you think it would be wise to eventually get an mpfl reconstruction surgery? The pain I'm experiecing is 1-2/10 but it's a chronic daily pain
Hi NK98, We specialize in helping people avoid surgery so it is not something we recommend often but also we can't really say without a proper evaluation. Also, surgery is a very personal decision and one that you will decide if you want to move forward with it. However, the best that you can do is ask your surgeon some questions so that you can make an educated decision. We have a video that you might find helpful: “11 Questions To Ask Your Doctor When They Suggest Knee Surgery” ruclips.net/video/G_DLIRkoGhM/видео.htmlfeature=shared Generally, in our experience, if you have more than 10% range of motion and do not experience locking for long periods of time it is a good sign that you may be able to avoid surgery. We have a couple of playlists that you might find helpful for mpfl. You can access it here: “Chondromalacia Patella Help” ruclips.net/p/PLJVIPiFvv1mah5PV-1Y-fv1UHrmbqnXQE “Patella Pain Syndrome Help” ruclips.net/p/PLJVIPiFvv1maaTNzf_HA4977E_r4k9r2X We hope this has been helpful.
