How can you tell how much of your meniscus is torn? can you tell without invasion test? had meniscus tears for 4 years and 2 ops and torn it again?

MRI is best test: A strong MRI ( 3.0 Tesla) closed magnet is probably the best noninvasive way to ascertain the degree of damage within your knee. This combimed with a thorough examination should be very accurate on answering your question
