One of the primary reasons to see an orthopedic surgeon for an old knee injury is to receive an accurate diagnosis. Knee injuries can result from a variety of causes, and identifying the specific condition can be challenging without a comprehensive evaluation.
When an Old Knee Injury Starts Acting Up: When to See an Orthopedic Specialist
Many active adults in South Florida carry a history of knee injuries from earlier in life—whether from sports, exercise, accidents, or previous procedures such as ACL or meniscus surgery. For years, the knee may feel perfectly fine. Then suddenly, during a workout, a round of golf, a tennis match, or even a long walk on the beach, that old injury starts to flare up again.
There are 2 cushiony pieces of the cartilage connecting the femur and the tibia of each leg. This cartilage is called a meniscus (plural: menisci), and it is present in a pair in each knee joint. A meniscal tear occurs when the knee joint experiences a sudden, sharp movement. At Florida OrthoCare it is important that patients we treat have a clear understanding of how its best for treating meniscal tears.
