Displaced meniscus: Menisci, bands of thick cartilage attached to the shin bone, act as shock absorbers during knee movement . Medial meniscus extrusion is displacement of the medial meniscus, which is on the inner side of the knee joint. Caused commonly by a tear,knee misalignment or cartilage defects , it can lead to cartilage loss, osteoarthritis.It is treated by repair or by partial or total removal.

Injury: Medial meniscus extrusion is a sign of injury to the knee that can predispose one to the development of arthritis and degeneration of the knee joint. Treatment is dependent on your symptoms, the extent of the damage, and your level of activity. Need to consult with experienced orthopedic specialist to get best evaluation and recommendation for your case. Many times surgery is not indicated initial
