A member asked:
Is it normal for leg length to increase after torn meniscus surgery?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Meniscal treatment will not result in leg lengthening. You may feel a difference in the leg, but it isn't a change in length. The meniscus is a soft tissue bumper that even if removed doesn't change leg length.
