How Can Severity Cartilage Loss And Tear At The Medial Meniscus And Medial Compartment Cartilage Be Treated?
I was told i have a small vertical tear of the free edge of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus and medial compartment cartilage is diffusely moderately thinned and irregular, with approximately 50% thickness severity cartilage loss. What does that mean and should i have surgery or try stem cell therapy?
