Meniscii tears
Menical tears can be treated with conservative treatment with better results than surgery in some cases.
The cause of the tear can be traumatic, overuse, poor biomechanics in the knee and inadequate nutrients being supplied to the meniscus, etc.
The meniscus is said to have a poor blood supply therefore the ability to heal is not very good.
In most cases a Meniscotomy or complete removal of the meniscus is performed, other options can be to use a implant.
The treatment that I have got most success is the conservative one where the biomechanics of the patients are examined and corrected resulting in improved performance of the knee joint. All the components of the knee need to be addressed like the bone, ligaments, muscles, the joint capsule, etc.
The Patients recover vey well without any residual signs or symptoms, they are able to do all activities without hindrance. In some sportpersons have managed to climb mountains, run marathons and lead a healthy life with improved physical performance.

Here is a example of recovery from a Meniscal tear. Mr. Kuntal Joisher suffered from a torn meniscus. After 4 months of treatment he managed to climb 6000 meters Mt. Shasta.
