Twisted, Injured Knees Easily Treatable -- Especially in Young Patients
(continued)
Vital Information:
- For patients who experience sudden knee injury, the best treatment is generally arthroscopy, a minimally invasive surgery with a low cost and short recovery time.
- Symptoms of this type of knee injury include locking, popping sounds, pain, and swelling.
- In patients over age 50 who also have some arthritis of the knee, arthroscopy may not be the best choice.
