Posterior horn injury of the lateral meniscus in the right knee

Under normal circumstances, injury to the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus in the right knee may be related to excessive exercise, wear and tear, trauma, and other factors. A detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Excessive Exercise

Prolonged standing, walking, running, or similar activities can lead to overuse of the knee joint, resulting in injury to the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus in the right knee. In such cases, it is generally recommended to reduce exercise duration and avoid strenuous physical activity.

2. Wear and Tear

In daily life, if patients frequently maintain kneeling or squatting positions over a long period, it may cause knee joint wear, leading to meniscal injuries. It is recommended that patients follow medical advice to use medications such as Yunnan Baiyao Plaster or Celecoxib Capsules for treatment.

3. Trauma

If the patient's knee suffers a heavy impact or experiences a severe fall, knee injury may also occur. It is advised that patients first undergo an X-ray examination at the hospital, then, under a doctor’s guidance, take medications such as aspirin tablets or ibuprofen tablets for treatment.

Besides the above, such injuries may also be associated with recurrent old injuries, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and other conditions. Patients are advised to promptly visit a qualified medical institution for evaluation upon noticing symptoms, and receive appropriate treatment to prevent worsening of the condition.
