  1. 1. Can meniscal tears cause patella crepitus? I had an MRI that said I may have a meniscus tear but declined surgery because I think they were going to remove it making me susceptible to arthritis sooner.

    2. Can an old meniscus tear in the red portion be repaired? (4 years old) My knee crepitus hasn't healed in that time but has gotten better, before I couldn't put weight on my knee or sit on my shins without pain. My only other symptom is rare pain in the back of the knee but I can go up stairs, run, walk normally.

  2. Great presentation. The pauses while animations play helped a lot to quietly appreciate what e.g. a meniscal repair looks like. I would love another video, if you could make one, about post-op treatment and RTP protocols, as you outlined in the last minute or so of the video.

  3. I’ve had meniscectomy on my lateral meniscus two months ago and still have not been able to start jogging yet as my knee is still not strong enough. Do you think that this is a normal recovery?
