   How is a meniscal tear treated?

   • Treatment for meniscal tears depends on the size and location of the tear. Other factors which influence treatment include age, activity level and related injuries.

   Does a torn meniscus need surgery?

In other cases, however, a torn meniscus requires surgery.
