Suggest Remedy For Meniscus Tear
I am 55 and was in a car accident 8 months ago resulting in CS herniated discs and a posterior horn meniscus tear that extends to the interior with patellar chondromalacia. I feel vulnerable to further injury. In your opinion, am I more susceptible to injury now? If so any suggestions on how to prevent that other than to continue to wear a seat belt and exercise? I realize that you have not seen me and that you are not omniscient, but I would really like to know what you think.

hi
Ideally there should be an MRI of knee or arthroscopy to dtermine the current situation and in same sitting an arthroscopic surgeon may undertake repair or whatever is required as per findings.Conservative trreatment doesnt give complete protection and vulnerability may remain.So it is suggested to seek orthopedic consultation as early as possible
