    Meniscus is in the knee joint, this part is very fragile, often do some dangerous movements, or in the process of exercise and other incorrect methods, will lead to meniscus damage, meniscus damage is not self-healing, is irreversible, therefore, usually try to avoid doing some difficult actions to avoid meniscus damage, then, the discoid meniscus tears in both legs, resulting in unsteady walking, do you need surgery?

    First, first of all, the meniscus injury can not be self-healing, need to take a timely and effective method, the meniscus damage is irreversible, whether the meniscus tear needs surgery, need to be decided according to the individual's situation, if it is not very serious, you can be conservative first, no surgery is required for the time being, through daily cultivation and care, the condition will be slowly relieved.

    Second, if the meniscus tear is not very serious, the patient can rest in bed to prevent the meniscus injury from becoming more serious, it is normal to have pain after the meniscus injury, generally under the guidance of the doctor to take the drug ** The condition will be relieved, if the pain is severe and unbearable after the meniscus tear, you can choose surgery**.

    3. After the meniscus tear will gradually become larger and more complex with the extension of time, and even lose the ability to heal, in addition, the meniscus is in the joint part of the knee, if it is not timely, it is easy to destroy the articular cartilage, and the articular cartilage cannot be repaired by itself once it is damaged, therefore, after the meniscus tear, the surgery should be done as soon as possible in serious cases.

    I think of course surgery is needed because the meniscus can't grow well on its own and has to be surgically sutured.

    It may be necessary, because surgery is what can help you recover, and you still need to do it when necessary.
