A member asked:
Can a vertical tear in the knee be fixed? what are the symptoms of having a vertical tear in the knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A vertical tear in a knee cartilage can be operated upon if pain is too problematic or knee symptoms interfere with activities of daily living. Part or all of the cartilage may be removed in this case. Many people with torn cartilages get by without surgery.
