Hi,
I am sorry to hear of your Injury. The best treatment for your meniscal tear depends on:
- The location
- Configuration
- Extent of the tear
According to these factors, treatment modalities will be recommended by your doctor.
For minor ones meniscal tears, your doctor may consider trying a course of medication and physiotherapy first.
If it doesn’t get better, arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery would be the next best option.
Severe meniscal injuries are usually treated by arthroscopic surgery, which may be either a meniscal repair or a partial meniscectomy.
