A member asked:
Can a meniscus tear hear by itself?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: That depends upon the location and the type of tear. Small tears that are close to the outside edge of the meniscus may heal by their own. Tears closer to the inner free edge of the meniscus probably will not.
