Question

Sue has been complaining about a bad knee for the past few months, particularly when she is going down stairs. She is an active middle-aged mom who regularly participates in tennis, jogging, and hiking. She visited an orthopedic surgeon last week who told her that he would "like to have a look at her knee joint." He also told her that her symptoms indicate damage to the meniscus, and it might have to be removed. What will the doctor do to see the joint, and if the meniscus is removed will Sue be able to maintain her regular active schedule?

Answer 1

The doctor do the X ray of her meniscus.

Step-by-step explanation:

The doctor do the X ray of her meniscus in order to find out the damage in the meniscus, if the damage occurs on the outside of meniscus so it can be heal itself but if the meniscus is deeply damaged so it can only be repair through surgery. If the meniscus is removed, the Sue will not be able to maintain her regular active schedule because there is no shock absorber in your knee which absorb large stress so she can't do her regular activities.
