What Causes Bruise And Numbness On Knee?

I had a minor motorcycle wreck and the weight of the bike landed on my knee. It s bruised and sometimes feels crunchy when I move it- as though a tendon is shifting. Also it almost feels numb on the surface. Symptoms have persisted for five days after the wreck without getting much better. Any thoughts? The trauma caused no twisting/straining- only impact.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

As per your age and history there is possibility of soft tissue injury in knee.
Most commonly meniscus injury occurs.

As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion .
If pain persist then you may need to do MRI again to see for any functional defect.

Small meniscus tear can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy with USG and TENS.
Meniscus injury can be managed by arthroscopic repair,and same day you can go home.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
