I have a grade 3 tear in the posterior horn of my medial meniscus but can walk fine and bend my knee fully. Do I need surgery for this or can it heal on its own?

A grade 3 tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus usually indicates a complete tear, which typically does not heal on its own due to limited blood supply in that area. However, if you're not experiencing pain, instability, or functional limitations, conservative management like physiotherapy may be sufficient. An orthopedic consultation is recommended to assess the need for surgery based on your activity level and symptoms.
