Treatment Options:

Physical Therapy
In minor to moderate meniscus tears, physical therapy is performed in accordance with the RICE protocol – rest, ice, compression, and elevation – which is typically the first course of action taken by Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine. It may be advised that arch supports or inserts are used in the shoe to more evenly distribute weight and minimize the pressure on affected areas of the knee.
Surgery
Arthroscopic surgery can be performed by Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine for more serious tears, when conservative treatment methods are less effective. Depending on the severity of the tear, the meniscus can be repaired or trimmed.
