Stitching of the meniscus
A strong turn in the knee, a fall, deep squats, sports injury can lead to a meniscus rupture. The modern method of surgical treatment of knee injuries is arthroscopic surgery.
Meniscus rupture is the most common orthopedic pathology that occurs with forced extension in the knee joint, twisting movements.
Athletes most often face this injury: alpine skiers, football players, basketball players, as well as those people who engage in contact sports. People whose knee joints experience heavy loads during work are not immune from meniscus rupture. Trauma can occur even in everyday life. In case of severe meniscus ruptures, arthroscopic stitching is performed. Using instruments with powerful optical imaging, the traumatologist-surgeon stitches parts of the cartilage and restores the overall anatomical structure of the joint.
Clinical analysis of blood and urine Radiography of the knee joint Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Consultation with a therapist and specialized specialists such as an orthopedic traumatologist and an anesthesiologist
On the day of the operation, the patient is hospitalized in the morning, and laryngeal mask anesthesia is performed. A camera with instruments is inserted into the joint through micro-injections, with the help of which the condition of the internal structures of the joint is assessed, the damaged cartilage is treated (shaping, ablation) and the damaged part of the meniscus is stitched. The operation lasts an average of 60-90 minutes.
Arthroscopes with high-quality optics Miniature surgical instruments
For the first 3 weeks, the knee joint is fixed in the orthosis. Then therapeutic gymnastics and physiotherapy (magnetotherapy, UVT, kinesiotaping, massage) are performed with a gradual increase in the load on the joint. Full recovery takes 5-6 weeks.
Benefits
Minimal invasiveness
Arthroscopy is performed through small punctures, which reduces the risk of complications and accelerates healing.
High correction accuracy
Modern equipment ensures accurate meniscus repair.
Fast recovery
The minimal trauma of the procedure reduces the rehabilitation time and allows patients to quickly return to normal life.
Good cosmetic effect
Small punctures leave minimal traces, which is important for an aesthetic result.
