Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Arthroscopy : You did not put your age, but if you are reasonably young and healthy, arthroscopic surgery for your meniscal tear would typically be recommended to avoid further damage. I would discuss with an orthopedic surgeon.

NEED MORE HISTORY: Treatment depends on the symptoms and a detailed history of any trauma/injury, limitation of mobility and how long have you had this problem. Only with details of history and degree of limitation of your know function can one make a treatment recommendation. Have you seen an Orthopedic surgeon? What was the advice given to you?
