Whats a residual meniscus tear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: A meniscus is a structure that is made of cartilage and serves as a cushion between two bones. The knee has two: one medial and one lateral. Sometimes they can tear through degeneration or injury. The term residual means that there is “still” a tear; suggesting a persistent tear. This term can be used if someone has had prior surgery, or even if they have had a previous mri to compare to.
