Dear patient
Best treatment of discoid lateral meniscus is surgery. Discoid meniscus is in abnormal shape and occupies more space inside knee joint which impairs range of motion and if torn leads to locking. With the help of Arthroscopy and minor incisions meniscus is given proper shape and torn part is removed. Normal meniscus is semilunar shaped. Arthroscopy is safe and effective in expert hands. You need to consult expert arthroscopic surgeon and get yourself examined and opined. All the best.
