for now,no effective solution
they will usually stitch the tendon,but it end up being less flexible than before.
but the breakthrough is just behind the corner though,since scientist already experimenting some natural glue found in some plant as replacement for stitching
the tendon? wat i read in wiki is roberto baggio had ACL and meniscus injuries... is meniscus a tendon?
i also had meniscus and ACL operations before... the surgeon stitched my meniscus and replace my completely torn ACL with other graft from my body... after meniscus operation, i have to wear crutches for 6 weeks and after ACL operation, i have to wear crutches for 2 weeks. We can not do both operation at the same time because it will affect the recovery process.
We cant replace meniscus. that's what my doctor said to me. Luckily, my meniscus didnt become dead tissue yet, it was stitchable. If meniscus become dead tissue, doctors have to remove it and we will live without it for the rest of our life

. It's like sponge for our knee. It is not cartilage (white colour one). Meniscus is a muscle..
Dem, takut pulak bila teringat injury dulu.
