A member asked:
Can you re-tear a repaired meniscus? i had it repaired 14 months ago, and just this week it started to twinge.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only if Trauma: Yes you can retear if you have new injury in the joint involved,But without trauma a spontaneous tear is unlikely after 14 months.If the pain persists or gets worse,get it checked
