Hello,
Tear of multiple meniscus with joint effusion returning back after aspiration indicates extensive tissue damage of joint and surrounding structures which can be traumatic, inflammatory or else. Though the surgical correction of tear with reconstruction is best possible therapy, I would like to address further with details of x-ray, MRI plates and aspiration fluid report if done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
