Accepted Answer

Possibly: If a tear in the meniscus occurs in the area where there is good blood supply, it can potentially heal/be repaired.  The inner two thirds of the meniscus does not have much blood supply and tears in that area usually do not heal.

Question 5

in my mri scan report it shows complex grade 3 posterior horn medial meniscus tear and high grade acl tear.but there is no locking and poping sound and there is no pain while doing any activity like climb stairs,walking,running,is surgery require?

Accepted Answer

: This is a judgement call, as depends upon knee stability and likelihood of progressive healing associated with conservative therapy.  The big issue is the potential development of "wear and tear arthritic degeneration" (chondromalacia).  At your age, 21 yrs, you have potential for worsening over the  years.  Obtain at least 2 orthopedic surgical consultations and decide.
