Suggest Treatment For Lateral Meniscus Tear
Had an ACL reconstruction in 1995, recently tore my lateral meniscus. after rehabbing still have loss of about 5% flexsion unable to fully fire my quad. After MRI was told I have DJD, should change lifestyle to no/low impact activities only. Going to get scoped, doc talked about notchplasty and potential graft debridement. Not comfortable with losing the entire graft. Just uncertain of plan
