Tear of meniscus, current - what does this mean

A tear of the meniscus occurs when the knee joint is suddenly twisted, causing the meniscus to tear. this can happen due to a direct blow to the knee, or from activities that involve sudden pivoting or twisting of the knee, such as sports. symptoms of a meniscus tear include pain, swelling, and difficulty straightening or bending the knee.

What happens during the disease - tear of meniscus, current

Мениски – эластичные хрящевые пластинки, расположенные между суставными поверхностями бедренной и большеберцовой костей. Имеют форму полукруга, состоят из середины (тела) и краев (переднего и заднего рога). Передние рога менисков прикрепляются к передней части межмыщелкового возвышения, задние – к задней. Выпуклые боковые части менисков сращены с суставной капсулой. В коленном суставе человека есть два мениска: латеральный (наружный) и медиальный (внутренний), их передние части соединяются между собой при помощи поперечной связки. Внутренний мениск связан с боковой внутренней связкой сустава, поэтому данные анатомические образования часто повреждаются одновременно.

 

Мениски выполняют амортизационную функцию, участвуют в стабилизации коленного сустава и увеличивают площадь соприкосновения большеберцовой и бедренной кости, что позволяет снизить нагрузку на суставные поверхности. Кроме того, в менисках есть проприорецепторы, сигналы которых помогают мозгу определить, в каком положении в данный момент находится нижняя конечность. Сосудов в менисках нет, кровоснабжение их боковых частей осуществляется из капсулы сустава, а внутренние части получают питательные вещества только из синовиальной жидкости.

 

С учетом особенностей питания в менисках выделяют три зоны: красную, промежуточную и белую. Красная зона расположена рядом с капсулой, разрывы в ней, как правило, срастаются самостоятельно благодаря хорошему кровоснабжению. Промежуточная зона находится дальше от капсулы и хуже снабжается кровью, при повреждении мениска в этой зоне нередко приходится прибегать к оперативным вмешательствам. Белая зона располагается ближе к центру сустава, кровоснабжение в ней отсутствует, а питательных веществ из внутрисуставной жидкости оказывается недостаточно для полноценного сращения, поэтому при разрывах этой зоны требуется хирургическое лечение.
