What is the best way to treat minor meniscus rupture?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Strengthening: A minor meniscus rupture or tear does not always require surgery. Many will do well with strengthening of the muscles around the knee, range of motion exercises, ice and anti-inflammatory medications to keep swelling down, and avoidance of any jumping-twisting activities.
