A member asked:
I was just told that a displacement medial menicus root is not a tear but a antatomical variant. is this right? before surgery it wasn't like that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely a tear: A displaced medial meniscal root is typically a tear, not an anatomic variant. Still, anything is possible, and this can not be confirmed without physical examination, imaging, and surgical visualization.
