Commonly resulting from acute trauma or degenerative changes, these tears can cause significant pain and mobility issues if left untreated. The primary challenge of meniscus repair lies not only in addressing the immediate symptoms but also in managing potential long-term outcomes and complications associated with the surgery itself. Understanding these aspects is critical for patients considering this surgical intervention. Exploring Long-term Side Effects of Meniscus Surgery While meniscus repair surgery is designed to relieve pain and restore knee function, it is essential to be aware of possible long-term side effects. Some patients may experience a reduction in knee mobility years after surgery, potentially leading to the development of osteoarthritis due to cha...

Common in athletes and others, it results from overuse, misalignment, or injury. Preventive measures include strengthening and stretching exercises, proper footwear, and avoiding stress-inducing movements. Early intervention through physical therapy and weight management is vital to prevent worsening. Long-term management focuses on maintaining knee function with ongoing exercises and activity modifications; surgery is seldom necessary. Medical advice should be sought for persistent pain or swelling. Understanding causes, treatment options, and recovery timelines aids effective management and reduces arthritis risk.
