How to effectively treat posterior horn meniscus tear and anterior/posterior cruciate ligament injuries of the knee joint
Posterior horn meniscus tear with anterior and posterior cruciate ligament injury generally responds well to conservative management, medication, or surgical treatment. Specific approaches are as follows:
1. Conservative Management
If the posterior horn meniscus tear combined with anterior and posterior cruciate ligament injury does not restrict knee joint movement, immobilization of the knee joint is recommended. This may include wearing a brace, applying ice packs locally for cold compression, and elevating the affected limb.
2. Medication
Under medical guidance, patients may take medications such as Qianggu Capsules, Huoxue Zhitong Capsules, or Dahuoluo Pills to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and help reduce inflammation.
3. Surgical Treatment
If the condition is severe, with明显 limitation in knee joint movement, and non-surgical treatments yield unsatisfactory results, arthroscopic surgery may be considered as advised by a physician. After surgery, functional exercises such as knee flexion and extension should be performed to facilitate recovery.
It is recommended to visit the orthopedic department of a reputable medical institution for accurate diagnosis and to select an appropriate treatment plan under a doctor's guidance.
