A member asked:
Is it possible for a meniscus tear to be confused with knee arthritis or vice versa?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clinically yes.: On mri-no. But many people with arthritis have mild degenerative tears. An acute onset of pain following any number of sporting activities usually will suggest a mechanical acute tear. Both can be associated with fluid on the knee!
