Rotura de MENISCO de la RODILLA - Tratamiento, recuperación y cuando operar (2026)

A meniscus tear is one of the most common knee injuries, and when it is not diagnosed or treated properly, it can increase the risk of developing knee osteoarthritis due to further wear and tear of the articular cartilage. In this video, you will learn how to recognize a meniscus tear, its symptoms, causes, and types, and which treatments have shown the best results in relieving pain, restoring function, and protecting the knee in the long term. Meniscus tears can occur after a sports injury, a sudden twisting of the knee, or as a consequence of aging and the progressive wear and tear of the meniscus. In this video, we analyze in depth the different types of meniscus tears, how they are diagnosed, when they can be treated without surgery, and when surgery may be the best option to preserve the joint. We will also review the most commonly used conservative treatments, including medications, physical therapy, rehabilitation, therapeutic exercises, and injections. We will also explain the main current surgical techniques, such as meniscus repair or suture, meniscectomy, and new meniscal reconstruction strategies using tissue engineering. ⚕️ In this video, Dr. Liván Peña Marrero, Orthopedic and Trauma Specialist, PhD, Professor and Senior Researcher, with 30 years of clinical experience, will explain meniscus tears, their causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, surgery, and rehabilitation in very simple and clear language. He will base his explanation on recent scientific studies published in internationally renowned journals and official databases such as PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, and other specialized sources. 📘 In this video you will learn: CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction 02:23 What are the most frequent causes of a meniscus tear? 03:09 What symptoms and signs does a meniscus injury produce? 03:53 How is a meniscus tear diagnosed? 04:28 Initial treatment of a meniscal injury 05:32 What conservative treatments are available? 08:12 When is surgery necessary for a meniscus tear? 13:22 Rehabilitation after meniscus surgery 13:45 Accelerated rehabilitation 15:32 Restricted rehabilitation 👀👉 If you want to support the development of this channel and also enjoy some benefits, you can become a CHANNEL MEMBER at this link:    / @livan.ortotrauma   ▶️ SUGGESTED VIDEOS: 👉HYALURONIC ACID Injections for OSTEOARTHRITIS: Everything you need to know (2026)    • Infiltraciones de ÁCIDO HIALURÓNICO para l...   👉Corticosteroid Injections for OSTEOARTHRITIS: Real relief or DAMAGE to your cartilage? 👉    • 💉Si tienes ARTROSIS debes saber esto antes...   👉Knee Injections – PRP, Hyaluronic Acid, Corticosteroids, and Bone Marrow: Which to Choose?    • INFILTRACIÓN de RODILLA – PRP, Ácido Hialu...   ⚠️ Disclaimer: The information in this video is for educational and informational purposes only and does not replace the evaluation, diagnosis, or individualized treatment of a healthcare professional.
