A member asked:
Does a partial tear of the medial meniscus posterior horn root need surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Meniscus: If symptomatic then the answer would be yes. Not all meniscus tears especially partial ones require surgery. However please understand that the meniscus has very poor healing capacity on its own.
