A member asked:
Can 30% of your left medial meniscus removed cause you to limp , have pain , and weak the rest of your life . had pt and no improvement . 58 yr. old.

Look further : A partial menisectomy by itself should not produce longterm problems. Things to be concerned with would be arthritis associated with the tear. Underlying back problems. Insufficient physical therapy
