A member asked:
Does a extruded medial meniscus towards the posterior root need surgery? is this a tear? please help
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, you will likely need arthroscopic surgery. The meniscus is torn and displaced. It will likely cause problems if you don't take care of it. Thankfully the surgery is fairly minor.
