The meniscus has an important function in the knee joint. When it’s missing, the next progression is usually arthritis. When pain increases, everything possible will be done to avoid an operation. When physiotherapy, medication, joint maintenance procedures such as axis correction no longer help and your knee is, according to X-rays, ready for a prosthesis, the only deciding factor remaining is your level of discomfort. If your knee is aching that much that your quality of life is limited in way which urges you to take action, you will be looking for the surgeon who best fits your demands. It’s your degree of suffering, not the details on the X-rays which will determine whether surgery is the best solution for you.
