【了解前十字韌帶與半月板】

前十字韌帶和半月板是年輕人和運動愛好者中最常見的傷害之一。前十字韌帶在維持膝關節的穩定性方面起著至關重要的作用，尤其是在運動和扭轉性膝部活動中。例如，在踢足球時，腳部的扭動動作是導致前十字韌帶受傷的最常見原因之一。

當懷疑有前十字韌帶扭傷或斷裂時，了解適當的處理步驟和治療流程至關重要。即時護理通常包括R.I.C.E.原則—休息、冰敷、壓迫和抬高，以減輕腫脹和疼痛。隨後，醫生會處方消炎止痛藥物，以控制發炎情況並減少痛楚。如果懷疑有前十字韌帶撕裂，醫生會建議進行磁共振檢查（MRI），以確定撕裂的情況，並與病人溝通進一步的治療方案。

半月板撕裂的情況也很常見，其受傷模式與前十字韌帶類似。半月板受傷通常表現為不同程度的撕裂，醫生會安排磁共振檢查，確定撕裂的位置和程度，並根據檢查結果決定是否需要進行手術。

【Understanding the Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Meniscus】

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus are among the most common injuries for young people and athletes. The ACL plays a crucial role in maintaining the stability of the knee joint, especially during sports and twisting movements of the knee. For example, in soccer, the rotational movement of the foot is one of the most common causes of ACL injuries.

When an ACL sprain or tear is suspected, it is essential to understand the appropriate steps for management and treatment. Immediate care usually includes the R.I.C.E. principle—Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation—to reduce swelling and pain. Following this, the doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory and pain-relief medications to control inflammation and alleviate discomfort. If an ACL tear is suspected, the doctor will recommend a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan to determine the extent of the tear and discuss further treatment options with the patient.

Meniscus tears are also common and have a similar injury pattern to ACL injuries. Meniscus injuries typically present as varying degrees of tears. The doctor will arrange for an MRI scan to identify the location and extent of the tear and decide whether surgery is necessary based on the results.

Now, let’s hear from Consultant In Orthopedic , Clinical Director, Robotic Surgery (Joint Replacement) Dr. Cheung Man Hong at Hong Kong Adventist Hospital – Stubbs Road, who will provide professional insights into the injuries and treatment of the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus!
