✔ 最佳答案
depends how each time injured
did u have surgery to repair/ reconstruct it before
which ligament u actually injured
(there is the anterior - ie front - and posterior - ie back - cruciate ligaments)
CHRONIC PROBLEMS
other than instability
meniscus or even the cartilage can be damaged during each injury
early degeneration - in terms of knee pain is commonly seen if left untreated
esp you have multiple re-injury
PROTECTION - rarely useful if no operation done
protection can be by a brace - personal experience and current literature believe that is not much help though
physiotherapy that trains balance and position sensing may help
TREATMENT
1) need to determine the extent of injury - usually the orthopedic doctor will suggest a MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of the injured knee
2) depends on the structure injured
ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT
mainstay of treatment is still operation to reconstruct the cruciate ligament with appropriate physiotherapy afterwards
operation can use the tendon with part of the bone at the knee cap or just the tendon at inner side of thigh to put back to the position of the injured ligament
nowadays most surgeons in HK will use small wounds (keyhole surgery) to go into the knee
with the exception that the wound to take the tendon from knee cap is still quite long
Physiotherapy post operation is VERY important if not more important than the surgery itself
POSTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT
depends on symptoms and demands of the person
more likely will adopt conservative management - ie no surgery
operation only for very symptomatic or high demand people
OTHER STRUCTURES
will need other definitive treatment
hope can help u understand more
