Patient's question:
Lately, for some reason, I've been feeling terrible bone pain and can't sleep. My whole body hurts. What should I do if a child has a meniscus injury and goes to the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Mainly, the injury is caused by a fall, leading to a meniscus tear. It is crucial to take the child to the hospital for follow-up immediately to avoid leaving behind post-traumatic sequelae. In severe cases, it may even affect the child's growth and development. If the injury is mild, it can be treated with medium-frequency electrotherapy, combined with acupuncture and the application of Voltaren gel. For specific medication, strictly follow the doctor's advice. If the injury is severe, minimally invasive surgery may be necessary for treatment. For moderate to severe tears, especially with posterior horn avulsion, arthroscopy is generally required for treatment.
