[|Human|] Hi sir. I got discoid lateral meniscus with grade 3 tear along with grade 2 medial meniscus tear. I m 33 yrs old ophthalmologist in Private practice. History of mild trauma of fall from chair 4 mths back. Not feeling any difficulty in day to day work but feelibg pain while on stairs and frequent knee locking. Above findings are from 3 tesla recent MRI. No ther injury to knee parts. Plz give best possible treatment guidelines. Thanks
[|AI|]  Dear patient Best treatment of discoid lateral meniscus is surgery. Discoid meniscus is in abnormal shape and occupies more space inside knee joint which impairs range of motion and if torn leads to locking. With the help of Arthroscopy and minor incisions' meniscus is given proper shape and torn part is removed. Normal meniscus is semilunar shaped. Arthroscopy is safe and effective in expert hands. You need to consult expert arthroscopic surgeon and get yourself examined and opined. All the best.
