What does a slight superior displacement of the meniscal root mean? please explain this was seen on a mri? does that need surgery to fix?

Minor Change: This sounds like you have a minor abnormality seen on your mri. This should not need surgery, unless it is causing you problems. Discuss the findings with a spine surgeon if you are having any problems with the area served by this nerve root.
