A member asked:
I'm 20yr old guy,i've grade 3 tear of posterior horn of medial meniscus,doc told 1month rest to see if it heals on its own as i'm young.can it heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: If a tear in the meniscus occurs in the area where there is good blood supply, it can potentially heal/be repaired. The inner two thirds of the meniscus does not have much blood supply and tears in that area usually do not heal.
