Problem description: I have been playing basketball with a sprained knee for 2 years. I usually walk without pain. There is a slight discomfort when climbing stairs. Squatting for a long time, standing up for a moment, occasionally I can hear a noise in my knees. I took an MRI. Results: 1. Left knee lateral meniscus hind foot 2-3 grade injury. 2. A small amount of fluid in the left knee joint. 3. The left knee anterior cruciate ligament is injured, and part of it may be torn. Injury to the lateral collateral ligament of the left knee. 4. Local cartilage injury on the outer lateral side of the left femur.

Patient information:Age: 141 years old Gender: Male
Question analysis: From the description of symptoms, the current symptoms are not very severe, indicating that recovery is still possible. Injuries of this level basically cannot be exercised later. If there are not too many uncomfortable symptoms in daily life, it is recommended to continue recuperating. As the age increases, surgical intervention may be required later.
Guidelines: Knee snapping is a sign of ligament injury. The problem is not big. The key is that the current meniscus injury and cruciate ligament injury can only be repaired by surgery. In most cases, surgical removal of the meniscus is performed. The indication is that surgery is recommended only when there is dysfunction and joint pain cannot be relieved. Because there will still be many problems in the later stage.
Recommendations are for reference only. If the problem is serious, please go to the hospital for detailed inspection
