    The articular cartilage never ceases to amaze me. Even on a cadaver, with all the chemicals involved, you can get a glimpse on how smooth and lubricated it is.

    I've torn my meniscus on both knees. Each time I let them heal on their own. One took longer than the other but both healed and I'm still playing two man beach volleyball at age 60.

    The most painful injury I’ve ever had. I chose not to do surgery and it’s actually healed pretty good.

      I recently heard from a sports medicine doctor that they've recently found that surgery doesn't help much. (Of course, that's an overall "average," so I suppose there are some cases where it helps.)

    ❤❤❤in college I was a science major. I took Anatomy, Physiology, chemistry…all the science classes. The college had its own morgue, so we got to dissect real cadavers. It was interesting but at the same time sad to think that these bodies once had life and lives and to wonder also, why or how they died😢

    This information is so valuable to me personally because 2 years ago I actually blew my knee out because my knee joint had actually pinched the meniscus tissue, making it impossible to bend or extend without SEVERE pain. All I did was extend my leg while sat down, and brought my leg back close to myself, I felt some kind of tension building and then it locked up entirely. I still have issues today and my doctor told me it was just something I would have to deal with by using physio techniques. It's so interesting to see what could've actually happened inside my knee, thank you for this!!

    I had a torn meniscus on my right knee from a fall. By the time i convinced the dr to do a scope it was bone on bone. Fun fact, 50% of torn meniscus do not show on an mri. I opted for a partial knee replacement but the doc who did the surgery must have been over confident because he botched it. 2 years later his partner did the one test he didn’t and found one ligament was cut way to short and one was left long. Sadly, the revision surgery could only do so much. It’s been about 16 years of daily pain now and I’m not certain a total replacement would make anything better.

    • @CuBeKilla
      @CuBeKilla 18 днів тому

      The initial shock of a Total replacement is the worse. But, the pain aspect in the long term is so much better. They physically remove the nociceptive tissue that relates the pain from the joint to your body. And a lot of patients I work with, are extremely happy with the results. I’d recommend researching for surgeons with a 4.5 star or higher reflection. And makes you feel comfortable and understood!

    Repair of the meniscus is the number 1 most unnecessary surgery done by ortho docs. Many times the problem is bone on bone and removing/smoothing the meniscus does not fix the problem.

    Why would they snip it out if it's torn, It's already torn? I mean , that's what a snip would do too right??? I don't get it. Why wouldn't you just leave it and then?Eventually it would heal up enough so you could Use your knee again because that's what surgery would do??
