Meniskskada i knäleden

Senast uppdaterad: Senast reviderad:
Sakkunnig:
Definition:
Innebär bristning eller avslitning av den mediala eller laterala menisken till följd av skador eller degenerativa processer.
Förekomst:
Vanligt vid kontaktidrott och generellt i befolkningen, men många har inga symtom.
Symtom:
Smärta, stelhet, instabilitet och eventuellt låsning.
Fynd:
Smärta över ledspringa, svullnad, smärta eller klickande ljud vid rotationsrörelser, eventuellt nedsatt rörlighet
Diagnostik:
Kliniska tester är osäkra. MR har hög diagnostisk säkerhet men är sällan indicerad. Artroskopi är i regel inte indicerad.
Behandling:
Meniskskador behandlas konservativt. Vid akuta skador, idrottsskador och låsningar kan artroskopisk kirurgi vara aktuellt.
