Is Degenerative Fraying At The Medial Meniscus Along With A Non-displaced Cleavage Tear At The Lateral Meniscus A Serious Concern?
Hello, my results from MRI on Right Knee. Impression: There is degenerative fraying at the posterior horn of the medial meniscus along with a non-displaced cleavage tear at the body of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. Minor degenerative change is noted although the chondral surfaces are within relatively normal limits. There has been a myotendinous strain of the vastus medialis as it approaches the medial retinaculum with an injury also involving the continuation of the adductor magnus as it approaches the epicondylar region... My notes - I would like to avoid surgery wherever possible. I have had the tear since 2015 and this is a recent check up as it has been very painful for about 2 weeks straight. All good again now after being on Mobic Anti-inflammatory tablets while in severe pain. Can you advise what this all means in short - due to go back to ortho soon.

Is Degenerative Fraying At The Medial Meniscus Along With A Non-displaced Cleavage Tear At The Lateral Meniscus A Serious Concern?
Hi, Meniscal Injuries as described is unlikely to cause any acute pain. Pain is more likely to have been caused by degenerative changes in the spine. Start pain killers. Local heat therapy and knee muscle exercise to improve muscle strength. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
