A member asked:
Do i need surgery. multiple tears in meniscus,large oblique tear in posterior horn bone swelling with blood in bone, tried injection no relief?

If you have arthritis, then it is possible that meniscus surgery will not help. Meniscus tears are often treated with arthroscopic surgery. However, if you have arthritis in your knee, then this type of surgery can be much less successful.
