A member asked:
Is surgery necessary when a mri says that you have a medial meniscus displacement?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Presuming that you have pain, which would have prompted the mri, then you should have surgery, it won't repair itself. The surgery is easy, done laproscopically, which means minimally invasive and quick healing..
