Hello Mr. lybrate-user, not all meniscal tears require surgery. If tear is large and causes locking of knee joint, then it is an indication for operation. If you are not facing any issues now, take a few precautions and exercises for the knee. 1. Do not sit cross legged on the floor 2. Don't use indian toilet. 3. Avoid climbing stairs. Medications are only for pain and no medicine helps in healing as such. So don't worry and take care. Regards.
