"When Is Lateral Meniscus Tear Treatment Needed? "

A knee can keep moving even with a meniscus tear, but that doesn't always mean it's working properly. Some people notice pain while squatting. Others describe catching, clicking or swelling after activity. The location and type of tear influence lateral meniscus tear treatment. 

Every Tear Is Different 

Some injuries settle with non-surgical management, while others need further treatment. The decision depends on examination findings together with imaging results. 

What Is Reviewed? 

Choosing lateral meniscus tear treatment starts with finding the reason behind the symptoms. Arrange a consultation with Mr Vishal Pai, orthopaedic knee surgeon in Melbourne.
