I have a grade 1 posterior medial meniscus tear will this heal on its own or do I need surgery? I'm worried about making it worse if I don't get the right treatment. What's the usual recovery time for something like this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A grade 1 posterior medial meniscus tear often heals on its own without surgery, especially with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) therapy. The usual recovery time for a grade 1 meniscus tear can range from 6 to 8 weeks, but this can vary. Surgery is usually not needed unless symptoms persist or worsen after a few months.

View allMy brother broke his leg bone into two or three pieces and already had surgery. Now the doctors are suggesting another surgery to insert a rod or plate. What's the difference between using a rod versus a plate for his bone and is one better than the other for his situation?
In fracture repair, rods and plates both serve to stabilize broken bones and aid in healing. Rods are typically inserted into the center of the bone, while plates are secured to the outside of the bone with screws. The best choice depends on the specific fracture, the location of the break, and the surgeon's preference
