Abstract
The case report describes a non-invasive combination of novel extracorporeal magnetotransduction therapy (EMTT) with focused extracorporeal shockwave therapy for symptomatic medial meniscal tear in a 41-year-old gentleman. Ultra-high-frequency 33 MHz ultrasound revealed a complex medial meniscal tear with a ganglion confirmed by subsequent magnetic resonance imaging. Non-invasive treatment with combined novel Magnetolith® EMTT with focused electromagnetic extracorporeal shockwave therapy for three sessions on a weekly interval. Shear wave elastography at 6 months demonstrated comparable stiffness of the healed and the healthy contralateral meniscus. The healing of the meniscal tear could be depicted by multiparametric ultra-high-frequency ultrasound (33 MHz) with novel stress testing and shear wave elastography.
