Could you explain what this mean? progressive attenuation of the posterior root of the medial meniscus with only a tiny residual component remaining intact.. does this indicate a tear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes that would indicate a tear of the meniscus. Specifically the back part of the meniscus on the inside of the knee.
