A member asked:
Is it something serious when you have a slight superior medial mensicus displacement? what usually is the treament for that? does it require surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Surgery is always an option, but just depends on your symptoms. If you don't have significant swelling or pain, then conservative management is appropriate. If you have pain that impacts your daily activities, having the meniscus "fixed" (through an arthroscopy) is an option. "displacement" of a meniscus likely means that if you re-tweak your knee, you'll complete the tear. Good luck!
