load, and tearing is typically caused by a twisting or squatting mechanism. If you have torn your meniscus, the first symptom will be pain in your knee. Whilst that initial pain may settle, other symptoms such as painful clicking and locking may be ongoing. If the tear is large or \u2018bucket-handle\u2019, the knee could be completely locked. If this happens, you may be unable to move your knee at all.\n\nThings that make the meniscus tear worse:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Twisting<\/li>\n \t<li>Squatting<\/li>\n \t<li>Walking on uneven ground or soft sand<\/li>\n \t<li>Jogging<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nActivities that are sometimes still well-tolerated:\n<ul>\n \t<li>\u201cStraight-line\u201d walking<\/li>\n \t<li>Cycling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe first step is

As a general rule, and depending on the nature of your knee problem, I tend to recommend moving your knee as much and as soon as possible. We know that wasting of the muscles around your knee can happen almost overnight after an injury and also that it takes a long time to build muscle back up after surgery.<\/p><p>Any knee surgery makes this muscle wasting worse initially. So the main recommendation I have is to get on a static bike after you injure your knee, and again after surgery. The reason we use this particular form of exercise is that it is intensely measurable with the <a href=\"\/research-orthopaedic-surgeon-perth\/\">technology we are using<\/a>, and it is very effective at regaining movement and muscle strength.<\/p><p>As orthopaedic surgeons, we always try to operate on knees that are not too stiff ie regaining as much motion as possible before surgery is essential. As you would expect, a stiff knee prior to surgery means it can take you much longer to get better after your operation. Having surgery on a poorly conditioned knee is bit like doing a long-jump or a high-jump from a standing start &#8211; surgery works much better when you have gained a bit of momentum beforehand.

Remember, inflammation happens after surgery and injury, therefore anti-inflammatories make sense.<\/p><p>Recovery is different for repair surgery compared to removal (partial meniscectomy) surgery. Repair means that you will most likely spend up to six weeks in a knee brace, with significant recovery time. After a repair, your muscle wasting and strength delay is significant, but we will typically prefer to repair the meniscus in the younger knee to prevent problems with the knee 20 years later.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column
