How Can A Meniscus Tear In The Knee Be Treated?
dr. plans to operate on me for a torn meniscus, however this condition has been on-going for over a year. I was operated on in 6/2015 for a quidricept rupture and I didn t know that i also had a torn meniscus, therefore it was not treated at that time. My question is that because of the delay in getting treatment for the torn meniscus, will have have a good out come with the 2nd surgery?
