A member asked:
What are the symptoms of having a vertical meniscus tear in the knee? is a vertical tear the same as a bucket handle tear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Person with vertical meniscus tear feels comfortable when the knee is slightly bent. Complete straightening is difficult and painful. Pain can be felt on pressure through the joint line in front. Swelling of joint. Bucket handle tear is a vertical tear through the outer part of the meniscus and attachment remains intact. Locked knee is the added symptom. Hope it helps.

I got an arthroscopic repair of a lateral bucket handle meniscus tear almost four weeks ago. I feel clicking when I bend my knee to 90 degrees and its not on a platform or its not gravity bending the knee. Pain is rare. Is this a sign of failure?
Do you think a lateral bucket handle meniscus tear with medial displacement and severe arthrosis calls for a total knee replacement. I think repair, heal then gel injections. I am not in pain, I can walk 1 to 2 miles I just can't squat or jump. 62 y?
