Not sure: If your previous meniscal repair is not healed in two years, it probably won't. If the current tear is on the other side of the knee, that can be treated during the arthroscopy. If your earlier attempt at a repair was unsuccessful, you may need to excise the torn portion especially if it is symptomatic. Only a small percentage of meniscal tears are amenable to repair.

I had surgery to repair a torn meniscus about a year ago, and my knee still hurts if I am active for too long. Shouldn't it be healed by now? Or is there another problem?
