Torn meniscus - to repair or not to repair?

Hmmm, that’s tough. Maybe talk to an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in joint preservation or replacement. I’d think they’d have good recommendations once they understand how active you are used to being, what your pain level and limitations are currently, and what you’d like to end up through all of this. Does your PT have a thought about how much more improvement you should expect?

Thank you for your input.
PT really does not have an opinion. All they said is that PT may help or it may not. The confusing part is that they also said surgery may not repair the problem, either.
Thanks again.
