A member asked:
Knee pain and mri report found that. horizontal tear in posterior horn and body of medial meniscus. what is that mean & what treatment we should take?

Arthroscopy?: Next step depends more on clinical exam than the mri; nonetheless assuming you have joint line pain, clicking, and failed a period of rest and medications, the arthroscopy with partial meniscectomy is helpful in a majority of cases.

Watch or scope: If it hurts and your struggling with certain movements that cause pain, then fix it. If it has settled down and doesnt hurt now then you can delay fixing it until it hurts or restricts motion. Thats my decision tree.
