A member asked:
Mensical tear surgery, what does this involve?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends on what type and where the meniscal tear you have is. Some tears are in the periphery in which there is good blood and healing is most likely to occur. Meniscal sparing surgery is more likely to result in better outcome then meniscectomy ( less likely to advance to degenerative changes).
