Hello,

I have studied your case.

Meniscus injury can be managed by arthroscopic repair,and same day you can go home.
As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion .
If you are sports person/with high demand you need arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with meniscus repair.


Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
