A member asked:
Can a orthopedic surgery see if the meniscus is displaced during surgery? i had plica removed then had mri and it showed displacement. please explain

Yes: A displaced meniscus tear should have been noted at the time of surgery. When the plica is removed the menisci are evaluated at the same time. If a displaced meniscus tear is seen on MRI it is either a new injury or it is not a true finding.

Let me explain: Did you have arthroscopy? With small incision? When we do that usually we inspect the meniscus if it is normal or abnormal.

Yes: If you had a knee arthroscopy and had a plica or shelf removed then your ors would routinely inspect and probe your meniscus for tears and or instability( meniscocapsular injury).

Yes: Arthroscopic surgery allows for visualization and probing of the meniscus to see if torn and unstable.
