35 year old Singapore resident, an engineer by profession had sustained twisting injury to the right knee joint while at work. Since then, he suffered from knee pain, swelling, limping, difficulty in walking and performing day to day activities. He had consulted many specialist doctors in Singapore for the same. His relative in India, a doctor by profession advised him to consult Dr.Suman CPS at VGM Hospital, Coimbatore. After a thorough assessment and clinical examination and with the aid of MRI, he was diagnosed to have a symptomatic meniscal tear. (Note: The MENISCUS is a C shaped ligamentous structure, which acts as a cushion/shockabsorber and also prevents future arthritis)The patient and his spouse were counselled in detail. Most orthopaedic surgeons perform meniscectomy for meniscal tear which leads to future arthritis of the knee joint. Considering his young age, it was decided to save his meniscus to prevent future arthritis. Subsequently, he underwent Arthroscopic Repair of the Torn Meniscus ligament one year back. By three months he was back to normal, and touchwood till date he can do all impact-loading activities. His success story is a ray of hope to all patients with similar problems.
