- Recurrent pain and swelling in a 45 year old lady with previous ACL reconstruction.
A 45-year-old woman with a prior ACL reconstruction experienced repeated pain and swelling in her knee. An MRI revealed a tear in the medial meniscus, which led to a partial medial meniscectomy to remove the damaged tissue.
Outcome and Follow-Up:
The partial meniscectomy is typically performed to relieve pain and restore function by removing the torn part of the meniscus. After the surgery, the patient will likely experience reduced pain and improved knee function.
Follow-up care usually includes physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve range of motion. It's important to adhere to the rehabilitation program and follow the surgeon's recommendations to ensure optimal recovery and prevent future issues. Regular check-ups may be scheduled to monitor progress and address any concerns that arise.
