Quiz: What is a Meniscus Tear?

Questions
 
True
False
1

Meniscus injuries are more common for people under the age of 30.

Explanation:

The meniscus is often injured as athletes attempt a twisting or weight-bearing motion. Meniscus injuries are more common for people over the age of 30, as the meniscus weakens as we age. They can also occur as a result of diseases such as osteoarthritis.

2

Symptoms of a meniscus tear include pain on one side of the knee.

Explanation:

Symptoms of a meniscus tear include pain on one side of the knee, localized swelling, loss of range of motion and a sensation of the knee locking or not being able to straighten it completely.

3

There are different types of meniscus tears.

Explanation:

You may experience a tear of the posterior horn of the meniscus, medial meniscus, lateral meniscus or bucket handle.

4

In most cases treatment of a meniscal tear includes the RICE protocol.

Explanation:

In most cases a meniscal tear can be treated with the RICE protocol (rest, ice, compression and elevation), anti-inflammatories, bracing and physiotherapy to stretch and strengthen the muscles of the knee.

5

Following surgery, most patients will remain in the hospital for 2-4 days.

Explanation:

If surgery is required, an orthopedic surgeon will perform arthroscopic surgery to prevent further damage to the knee. Meniscus surgery is generally a day procedure, with patients going home on crutches. The recovery time is usually around two weeks.

    Dr. Nadeau has a quiet confidence about her. I have now had two major spine surgeries with her and am pleased with the outcome of both.

    I had surgery in 2015 with Dr Nadeau . She was not the doctor I had been seeing but he was on holiday. She did a great job and was a very pleasant and informative Doctor. I would recommend her highly. I need another surgery and although she is not in my catchment hospital , I would go back for a consult with her. I trust her opinion.

    Dr Nadeau gave me false information. She told me after surgery I would be 100%. I am not, my ankle is arthritic, swollen with limited movement. Every day is a struggle. Some days I wish I could cut my ankle off. This has been the worst experience of my life. I wish i had been given the truth and not a bunch of lies.

    Melissa has performed a spine surgery on me 2 weeks ago. She is a confident and skilled surgeon. I had 2 problems to address and one of them was 10 years old. At that time another tenure surgeon refused to deal with my problem based on “he wouldn’t know where to start”. Se fixed me and I am happy with result.
