A member asked:
Radial tear type body segment lateral meniscus. radial type tear posterior horn lateral meniscus. can be repaired or just snipped off?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Knee scope: Most tears of the meniscus are best treated with a partial menisectomy, or "snipping" off the torn meniscal tissue. Repairs are usually reserved for patients under the age of 30, if the tear is in the vascular zone of the meniscus.

Probably not: Radial tears typically require debridement especially based on your age.
