A member asked:
What to do if i had a partial meniscus tear, does it heal over time without surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Meniscal tears: The meniscus will not heal itself, though it is possible to be asymptomatic with a meniscus tear. Typically surgical intervention is appropriate unless there is excessive osteoarthritis. Seeing an orthopedic physician will better determine your appropriate course of treatment.
