\ud83d\udcda Every time I read a study, I look for the clinical implications and what can transfer to my patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One topic I often discuss is restrictions after meniscus injuries. Both isolated or in combination with ACL injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd0d In the recent consensus on meniscus rehabilitation \u2013 Part 1, a table was published illustrating the differences in post-surgical restrictions. As shown in the table (pic 2), no consensus was reached on brace use for any surgery type. However, there was consensus on: Weight-bearing, Use of crutches and Range of motion for most surgical procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the consensus on meniscus rehabilitation – paper Part 2, the results from a 12-week supervised neuromuscular exercise program for traumatic meniscus tears are highlighted (pic 3). The patients who followed this rehab protocol had similar outcomes to those who underwent surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This program includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lower extremity strengthening
Balance training
Hip and core exercises
Patient education<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see an example of this rehab program in Picture 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
