I have a meniscus extrusion in my right knee and a small area of full-thickness cartilage loss measuring 9x7 mm. I'm only 25 if I get surgery now, will I still be able to walk normally by the time I'm 40?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, if you address the meniscus extrusion and cartilage loss with appropriate treatment, including surgery if necessary, you can likely maintain normal walking and other activities by the time you are 40. Early intervention and a focused rehabilitation program are key to maximizing your long-term knee health

MRI scan shows a high-grade partial ACL tear in my left knee and some meniscus issues. The doctor is recommending arthroscopic surgery but I'm not sure if it's necessary. There's also a mild strain in the PCL and tears in the lateral meniscus. The medial meniscus looks thinned out too. Do I really need the operation or are there other options?
ortho review is advised.
