A member asked:
Do you think i can go back to playing rugby after having 49% of my meniscus removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: you will do just fine. That being said your knee will certainly be at risk for developing arthritis at an earlier age. The more pounding your knee takes with a deficient meniscus the earlier you would expect to develop arthritis. In general your knee should be good enough to last into your 50's
