A member asked:
Can a displaced meniscus root get worse if not operated on? my knee feels so full is can the meniscus tear in the back of the knee?

Generally: Meniscus tears generally do not heal, because the blood supply to the meniscus is very poor. Root tears are at the very edge of the meniscus and are very difficult to manage. You should see and orthopod facile in arthroscopy. Meniscus tears usually cause swelling and pain.

Yes: If pain and swelling persists, you should consider surgery.
