Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The knee meniscus tear is treated conservatively only if the tear is partial. Adequate rest, hot fomentation, knee exercises like quadriceps drill, using a knee brace , etc are recommended till complete recovery is seen. Local steroid injections may help in reducing the inflammation.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
