Ruptured posterior root of the medial meniscus means what?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Torn cartilage: There is torn cartilage in the posterior knee joint. This can cause swelling, pain, and even "locking" of the knee joint. An orthopedic surgeon can view the MRI and determine the best course of treatment.
