Age 36, Female, Had a injury in Left knee. The MRI IMPRESSION:1. Complete tear of the Proximal Femoral Attachment of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament2. Complex tear of the Posterior Horn of the Medial Meniscus with both horizontal and vertical tear components.What is the treatment procedure for these?
Hi.normally Anterior Cruciate Ligament accounts for the front and back stability of the knee joint and medial meniscus acts the cushion for the knee joint preventing two bony surfacing from rubbing against each other. Now and to your in -1) ACL and MM injury can be treated nonsurgical by physiotherapy and medication, but person might continue to have pain and can cause early osteoarthritis.2) MM tear can sometimes obstruct the range of movements. Considering your age I would suggest you to undergo surgery (ACL Reconstruction and Medial meniscectomy/ meniscal repair) reasons being if left untreated it can cause persisting pain, early osteoarthritis, reduced range of movements, knee instability if physiotherapy is inadequate.
