A member asked:
Is a displaced meniscus root a diagnosis on a mri? does this mean tearing of the root? how can it get displaced? does it cause catching of the knee ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Meniscal root tear: The root is the attachment point of the meniscus on the tibia or shin bone. A meniscal root tear is something that should be treated surgically as it will not heal on its own. I would recommend seeing a orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine for a consultation.
