Hello, Unfortunately, I broke my kneecap while ice skating on January 7th. I had surgery that same day. You often read online that tension band osteosynthesis using drilled wires and a cerclage is usually performed during surgery, but my fracture fragments were only fixed with two screws. I was discharged from the hospital on January…
Hello, I've had a knee brace for a week now because my patella tendon is slightly torn. I've been wearing it at night, but I can't stand it anymore. I absolutely can't sleep with it on, and I wanted to ask if it's necessary to wear it at night? My doctor said I should wear…
And how can you describe the type of pain? I read that the doctor then, I believe, puts the kneecap back in place? Is that done under anesthesia? The procedure sounds extremely brutal.
Hello, I am 20 years old, male, and have been struggling with Osgood-Schlatter syndrome in both knees since I was 14 due to growth spurts. I have always played football and also went to the gym. Due to another growth spurt last year, the strain of sports, and Osgood-Schlatter disease below the knees, I developed…
I've been having problems with both knees for months and am undergoing treatment. Just last night, I tried to get up and suddenly it cracked, and since then, I haven't been able to stretch my lower leg. My knee is completely swollen, and nothing helps. It just doesn't look broken. Does anyone know what it…
My kneecap recently popped out (see last question), which caused an effusion. My orthopedic/trauma surgeon punctured it last week (some syringes were removed). Fortunately, the knee looks normal again. But now to my actual question… Since then, I've been wearing a bandage out of fear so that the effusion doesn't have much chance of coming…
Horizontal and vertical lesions of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, as in the models from April 30, 2022. Mucoid degeneration of the posterior root of the lateral meniscus. The anterior horn of the lateral meniscus and the medial meniscus are intact. The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, as well as the collateral ligaments,…
My kneecap popped out again this weekend and popped right back in. So I didn't go to the doctor about it (it wasn't the first time, and the med/physician's office won't do anything anyway), so I just rested my leg, iced it, and put a bandage on it. However, it still hurts, so I went…
My kneecap pops out every now and then, and I have braces for that. Personally, I think I'm not doing enough exercise right now because of school, and unfortunately, my academics are pretty poor. So I thought, why not try ballet? I'm 17 and don't want to become a professional dancer, but I think it…
