Grade 1 meniscal: signal USUALLY means that there is no meniscal tear and it's safe to participate. However, it's not 100% accurate. Grade 3 mensical signal is known as a definite tear on MRI. Grade 1 and 2 are tricky and have been associated with real tears at arthroscopy. Let pain guide treatment. If it hurts a lot, seek ortho advice. You might require arthroscopy to be certain.
