Knee Injury?!


Question: I have torn cartilage (sp) in my knee, and the doc moved my knee cap and said it's grinding, I am gettin an MRI tomorrow! How do they fix that!
I was goin to ask doc but then forgot..lol.
Do they surgically repair it? What might they do and what can I expect?

it sounds like you have torn away your miniscus. If so you have outpatient surgery (arthroplastic). You will feel groggy but by the end of the day you will be fine. You won't be able to put any weight on your leg for that day and will need outpatient therapy for about 2 weeks. after that your as good as new.

If you have a torn ligament it is still same day surgery and 6 months of therapy.

I had both done at the same time for my injury. I cant tell now except for the scars on my knee
