What Does Meniscal Fragment In MRI Report Suggest?
I found out today via an MRI, that I have the following: a complex tear involving the medial meniscus. There is a linear oblique tear involving the posterior horn and midbody. There is a density seen anterior to the central posterior horn which is probably a displaced meniscal fragment. Should I operate? Is a meniscectomy likely or will it be possible to repair my meniscus? Thank you.

Hello,
I have studied your case.
Meniscus injury can be managed by arthroscopic repair.
Meniscectomy will help you.
Post operatively you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion.
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
