What do they do for a partial meniscus ? what is done in surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tear?: Most meniscal surgeries are performed arthroscopically. The torn edges are usually shaved away and made smooth. If the tear is large they may repair it but this is not common since the meniscus does not heal well.
