Arthroscopic surgery requires only a small incision of 0.5–1 cm, is performed under high-resolution imaging, results in less tissue damage, less pain, a shorter recovery period, and usually does not require hospitalization.
Surgical intervention is only considered when there is a large tear in the meniscus, repeated entrapment, joint locking, or when conservative treatment or regenerative therapies such as PRP/PRF fail to improve the condition.
Suitable, especially for middle-aged and elderly people who do not want or are not suitable for surgery.
Most patients can walk on the same day, but should avoid strenuous exercise for 1–2 weeks.
Depending on the degree of injury, the common treatment is 2–3 sessions of PRP/PRF combined with SIS therapy.
Most people only feel a slight throbbing or warmth, which is comfortable and non-invasive.
No, it can be done through outpatient injection, and it is safer when combined with ultrasound guidance.
It is not recommended during the acute phase; during the rehabilitation phase, low-impact exercises should be performed under professional guidance.
It may lead to chronic pain, knee degeneration, joint locking, and instability while walking.
