My MRI shows a complete tear in the posterior horn and body of the lateral meniscus, along with a Schatzker type 3 lateral tibial plateau fracture and joint effusion. I don't have pain or locking, just a bit of swelling do I really need surgery for this?
It's difficult to say definitively whether you need surgery without a thorough examination by an orthopedic specialist. However, a complete tear in the lateral meniscus, along with a Schatzker type 3 tibial plateau fracture, usually necessitates surgical intervention. While the lack of pain and locking might be a positive sign, the tibial plateau fracture itself often requires surgical fixation.

I have a horizontal tear in the posterior horn of my medial meniscus do I really need surgery for this or can it heal with just meds and physio
A horizontal tear in the posterior horn of your medial meniscus may or may not require surgery, depending on the size and location of the tear. Small tears in the "red-red" or "red-white" zones (with blood supply for healing) may heal with conservative treatment like rest, ice, compression, elevation, physical therapy, and pain medication. Larger tears or those in the "white zone" (no blood supply) are less likely to heal on their own and may require surgery.
