Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Lin Yunfei
Knee ligament injuries may lead to synovitis. Symptoms such as pain can occur following a knee ligament injury; if left untreated for an extended period, inflammatory stimulation of the synovial membrane may develop, resulting in synovitis. After a knee ligament injury, it is recommended to undergo standardized treatment under the guidance of a physician. Additionally, patients should ensure adequate rest in daily life and avoid strenuous physical activity.
