Meniscus tears don't always warrant surgery, you do have options regarding treatment. Options include exercise, arthroscopic partial meniscectomy, and complete meniscectomy. If you are wondering which option would be best for you, let's take a look at the research. There is no compelling evidence showing that arthroscopic partial meniscus tear surgery produces better outcomes than physical therapy and exercise. There are always risks with meniscus surgeries and may be appropriate if your pain is very significant and limiting. Join Dr. Alyssa Kuhn, physical therapist and arthritis specialist with Keep the Adventure Alive as she discusses the top things to consider before meniscus surgery.

I'm 53 years old. I'm on the fence with my next decision. I was told that I needed a complete knee replacement. I have meniscus tears and have been dealing with 7+ pain for over 6 months. Considering the Hyaluronic acid injections. I just went to a PT session and putting in the work to get stronger. I am planning a total knee replacement next year instead of meniscus surgery per the surgeon's recommendations due to being bone-on-bone. Thanks for all of the great information.
Awesome information. Thank you so much. You Rock!
You’re so welcome!
I'm over 50 and I had a knee injury. X-ray shows no fracture & no significant arthritis. MRI shows complex radial medial tear, bone bruise, Baker's cyst, & loose bodies. Extreme pain and it's been 11 wks. I'm on compression hose, brace, and have started PT last wk. I've had my knee freeze up w/ sharp pain. My Ortho says my knee is a MESS! 2 days ago was the worst , had stabbing pain in my knee for 3 hrs. Very depressing. My DR said if I were younger I would've already had surgery. He says I may still need surgery. It's a awful injury and is depressing. So you can be older and actually injure you knee in a traumatic way w/o it happening over time. 11 wks out and my knee is NO better. I also have the loose bodies, which can make my knee lock up.
I have a meniscus tear due to arthritis. I chose the exercise route. Which type if exercises do you recommend. What are some advanced exercises to help?
New video will be released Monday!

@@arthritisadventure thank you so much, I found your video just at the right time… i am going to try very hard the exercise… you said everything I was thinking…. I watched your video many times yesterday. Much appreciated, surgeons office calling to schedule me, and I will discuss therapy first ❤️
Wouldn’t there be different degrees of a tear? Like if more severe, surgery would be best option?
Correct. Where the tear is and the severity dictates appropriateness for surgery
