Injury to the meniscus and knee ligaments is one of the most common knee injuries.
What is the meniscus? The meniscus is a crescent-shaped disk that provides stability to the knee.
A knee meniscus injury significantly impairs knee function, leading to severe pain and instability while walking.
We successfully conduct treatment for both medial and lateral meniscus injuries using modern methods and equipment.
Damage to the meniscus can occur when lifting heavy objects or, more commonly, during sports activities.
The resilience of the meniscus to injuries weakens as the body ages due to a decrease in its elasticity. The following 11 symptoms are characteristic of a meniscus injury:
- Stiff knee
- Instability while walking
- Knee pain when bending
- Knee pain and swelling
- Knee pain without swelling
- Knee pain below the kneecap
- Knee pain when squatting
- Knee pain when walking
- Knee pain on the inner side
- Knee slipping out of place
A third-degree medial meniscus injury can be extremely uncomfortable and lead to overall instability while walking.
Before conducting any therapeutic procedure, it is necessary to undergo a specialist examination with a physiatrist in our spinal centre.
During the specialist examination, you will discuss your symptoms and complaints with Dr. Jelena Kluz Đurđević, a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation.
Based on relevant documentation and a physiatric examination, the extent of the damage will be determined, and an official diagnosis will be made.
After the examination, the doctor will propose the exact treatment protocol and agree with you on the commencement of therapy.
