Not necessarily: If a meniscus is displaced, it is not necessarily torn, although it is more likely, since abnormal forces were applied to the meniscus to displace it. Depending on the displacement, arthroscopic surgery can be used to repair the joint.

Displaced meniscus: The term displaced generally means that a protion of the meniscus is "out of place" and this generally implies a tear.
