What Happens After a Knee Meniscal Tear Is Diagnosed

A knee meniscal tear doesn't always need the same treatment twice, even when the symptoms sound similar from one patient to the next. Location, size, and tear pattern all shape what happens next. * Tear location and pattern * Symptoms and how they affect daily activity * MRI findings compared against clinicalexamination * Suitability for repair versus other options Some knee meniscal tears settle with non-surgical management, while others need further treatment based on how they're affecting the joint. Arrange a consultation with Mr Vishal Pai, orthopaedic knee surgeon in Melbourne, to discuss your specific knee meniscal tear.
