How long can it take for a partially torn meniscus to heal?

Forever.: Meniscus tears rarely heal on their own. Only the outer third of the meniscus has a blood supply, and even tears in this region typically need to be repaired if there is to be any hope for healing. A torn meniscus in a young to middle-aged patient should usually be resected or repaired to prevent further damage.

Depends: Depends on location, severity , blood supply, activity level. If it is going to heal it can take 3 months.
