Knee pain is often caused by meniscus tears. These tears are quite common. In fact, according to the British Journal of Sports Medicine, if you were to get MRI’s of people over the age of 35, most of them are likely to have a meniscus tear. Before you consent to meniscus surgery, see step-by-step how a non-surgical PRP procedure can increase function, decrease pain and minimize downtime.
According to the American Heart Association 1 in 8 orthopedic surgeries lead to heart damage. If you’ve been told you need orthopedic surgery on your knee or shoulder or any other joint, please get a second opinion with Regenexx for a less invasive non-surgical option.
Meniscus tears are a common cause of knee pain. There are many types of meniscus tears, and each can benefit from different types of treatment. Surgery may not be the best option. To actually have the meniscus heal on its own, consider Regenexx procedures. Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP has good evidence to support its effectiveness. Injections of Bone Marrow Concentrate containing the patient’s own live stem cells can be used for more severe meniscus tears.
