A member asked:
Oblique horizontal meniscal posterior horn tear extending to inferior surface. can surgery give good outcome for plasterer/roofer (much used knee)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That very much: depends on your symptoms and level of functioning now, If you are able to perform what you need and want to do now then don't have surgery. Quite the contrary, if you cannot or are in too much pain then an arthroscopic meniscoplasty in skilled hands can perform wonders.
