A member asked:
If surgery isn't necessary, how long will it take for a minor meniscus injury to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on location: All soft tissues generally heal in about 3-4 weeks but the scar matuaration takes longer. Only peripheral tears of meniscii have a chance of healing.
