Torn meniscus: If it significantly torn in a large flap, parrot-beak, or bucket-handle type of tear, then a scope to trim or repair this may be best. For some degenerative, frayed tears, surgery may not need to be done.

Arthroscopic surgery: One usually requires arthroscopic surgery, to trim out the torn meniscus. See a sports medicine fellowship trained knee surgeon, for treatment.
