What is the treatment for Discoid Meniscus?

Some of the major treatment strategies of discoid meniscus include:

• Surgical Treatment: Knee arthroscopy is a common surgical procedure in which a few incisions are made on the knee to insert a small camera that takes pictures that are displayed on a screen. The surgeon uses these pictures to guide small surgical instruments.
• Rehabilitation: Post-surgery the patient’s knee is wrapped in a bandage and he may be advised to use crutches for a few weeks. After the initial healing procedure, the doctor may recommend physical therapy exercises to restore the mobility of the limbs. These exercises may be at home or with the help of a physiotherapist.
