A member asked:
Really want to start skatingboarding again. is a torn meniscus really a major problem or is it a minor one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Meniscus tear: While you can do exercises to strengthen the muscles that support and surround your knee, these will not lead to healing of torn cartilage/meniscus. Avoid high impact and twisting/pivoting activities. Best option is to fix the torn meniscus surgically. Untreated meniscus tears can get larger and can eventually lead to a greater predisposition for arthritis.
