Meniscus

quarter in school I got injured. I was working for a dog wash and jumped off no more than three or four large bags of dog food. I ended up tearing the ACL and meniscus in my left knee from a jump that was no more than a foot and a half high. After getting an MRI, the Orthopedic Surgeon informed me the ACL was nearly completely torn and the meniscus almost split in two. I was going to need surgery to repair the damage. When I informed my school about…

growth is going, if my weight was in the right direction. My favorite part of going to the doctor’s office was getting shots. I basically grew up wanting to be a nurse, the crave of making people who are sick; better. My sophomore year, I tore my meniscus and partial MCL playing soccer. When I went in to get surgery I remember the rush I got and the excitement on my face when I entered the hospital. Having all the machines, nurses and doctors around me, I thought to myself; that will be me one…

pressure on trying to finish my assignments and everything. But once again on January 26, 2016 I had surgery on my other knee! I could not just have one knee with scars! So now both of my knees have battle scars. On my left knee I tore my ACL and meniscus just like the other but on my right one I tore both of my meniscuses and only one on my left. So the second time around I kind of already knew what the routine would be so I just went with the flow. I really don’t have any bad memories from…

Knee stability is important for many sports, and reduced stability is toughly connected with the risk of injury. The most common knee complaints typically involve the patellofemoral joint. Internal instability of the knee refers to the damage of a variety of structures within the knee, including meniscal cartilage tears and loose bodies. Higher knee joint laxity may be an indication of an increased risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. The patient will present with soreness and…

valuable perspective of patient care to the doctor of physical therapy program at Eastern Washington University. Two weeks prior to my junior year of college, I had ACL reconstructive surgery in my left knee. Due to complications in surgery, my lateral meniscus remained torn in spite of the surgery. This exacerbated an already difficult and demanding recovery. Months into my recovery, I struggled with lingering issues of inflammation, pain, regaining range of motion, and a ‘catching’ in my knee.…

breath. That's what I spent doing with the majority of my time. Soccer. However, after countless hours, days, weeks, and years of the strenuous but fruitful chasing of this endeavor. My body couldn't keep up with my obsession any longer. I tore the meniscus in my left knee. Dr. Wilson (the orthopedic surgeon at the time) had said, “If that injury were to have happened when you are older you would have gotten your knee replaced with a metal hinge joint preventing you from performing simple daily…
