Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello! I have MRI results of my knee. They're in file. Do I need surgery or it can be some kind of therapy? It happened two weeks ago when I played soccer, without any reason I just felt a pain in my knee. Doctor gave me some special thing to make my leg straight. And he asked me to wait 3 weeks, to give my knee some rest and come back to him. What's your opinion? If it will be surgery can I work after it or Ill have to stay home? How long rehabilitation takes? And what kind of surgery it will be? Thank you! Description of mri: Menisci: there is a horizontal undersurface tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. Radial tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus is present as well.
Osseous and chondral structures: The articular cartilages in the medial and lateral joint compartments are normal in appearance.
