Whether or not meniscal wear can be cured depends on the degree of wear and how it is treated. If mild wear occurs with no discomfort, the meniscus and cartilage can generally be nourished by oral cartilage nourishing medication or sodium glacial injection into the joint cavity to extend the life of the meniscus and improve the function of the knee joint.
If the wear is more severe and has progressed to uncomfortable symptoms such as pain, popping and restricted movement, it can be cured mainly by removal of the diseased meniscus or artificial meniscus implantation, in addition to symptomatic treatment with medication.
