Is Meniscus Injury Acupuncture Treatment Effective

Sep 07, 2022

Treatment of meniscus injury:

1. Acute phase: if the joint has obvious effusion (or blood), the effusion should be extracted under strict aseptic operation; If the joint has "interlock", use the method to remove the "interlock". The knee was then fixed in the extended position for 4 weeks with a tubular cast from the upper third of the thigh down to the ankle. The cast should be properly molded so that the patient can walk on the ground with it. Exercise your quadriceps during and after fixation to prevent muscle atrophy.

2. Repair of meniscus blood supply area injury: The meniscus blood supply area injury, especially the longitudinal lacerations, can be healed by suture surgery. This surgery has a good prognosis, which has been confirmed by many experiments and clinical studies. But in a prospective 10-year study, a number of patients who underwent this procedure were found to have radiographic signs of joint degeneration. This suggests that the biomechanical function of the repaired damaged meniscus may not be completely reconstructed.

3. Repair of injury in the area without blood supply to the meniscus: The injury in the area without blood supply to the meniscus is relatively difficult, which has become a difficult problem in knee surgery. Partial excision is often PERFORMED for small, orderly injuries in areas without blood supply to the meniscus, such as barrel handle tears, with acceptable results. But this more or less impairs the biomechanical function of the meniscus. At present, although many methods have been found to deal with the injury of the non-blood supply area of the meniscus, there are few clinical studies, and this aspect needs to be explored.

4. Severe meniscus injury: when the meniscus is severely injured, total resection surgery is necessary. At this time, frozen meniscus and meniscus prosthesis transplantation are feasible, but there are many difficulties in meniscus prosthesis transplantation, such as the biomechanical function of the prosthesis cannot meet the requirements, the prosthesis is difficult to fix, and the joint degeneration is still obvious after transplantation.

5. Surgical treatment: Surgical treatment of multiple fingers using arthroscopy, remove the free meniscus fragments, or remove the injured meniscus. Removal of the meniscus is a last resort. Patients will lose or weaken basic physiological functions such as jumping and weight bearing after meniscectomy.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that meniscus injury is tendon injury, which is mainly due to fatigue, trauma, infection and other reasons caused by low immunity of the body, viscera function deficiency, wind, cold, dampness evil air deficiency into the body's stagnant joints, meridians and caused.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that meniscus injury can be treated by sticking plaster. Through EXTERNAL APPLICATION, THE DRUG MOLECULES CAN BE ABSORBED THROUGH THE skin, PARTICIPATE IN the blood circulation, reach the disease site, and conduct to the MERIDIans, muscles and bones through the skin, stimulate the regulating function of the body, and promote functional recovery. According to the characteristics of meniscus pathogenesis and symptomatic medication, it can achieve Shu Jin and activate collaterals, promote blood circulation and Qi, dissipate cold and relieve pain and other remarkable effects.
