How long does a grade 1 meniscus tear take to recover?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: A meniscus tear will not heal itself, though this does not mean it will always be symptom producing. Discuss your options with your physician.

Quickly: These are the most minor tears, really just small focal areas of abnormality, which should heal within days to a week or two. Re-evaluate with a physician if symptoms persist.
