Question: Hi my wife is 38 and is having left knee horizontal cleavage grade 2 medial meniscus tear ....some doctors has suggested arthroscopy...she is not having pain or discomfort...she is taking glucosomine and msm from last one month and is doing exercises daily 2,3 time to strengthen the muscles around the knee...Is there any treatment to heal the meniscus tear...
Brief Answer:
Physiotherapy will help in normal routine activities.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The only way to completely repair the tear is arthroscopic surgery. The physiotherapy exercises and supplements that she is taking can help in reducing the discomfort. She can continue with all these and in case there is a persistent pain or difficulty in walking or climbing stairs or running then do get it repaired surgically.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
