I just found out I have a tear in my lateral meniscus at the anterior horn and a partial acl tear plus a 4.9xm popiteal cyst. Dr wants therapy. I dont know If i feel comfortable with just therapy. I have a physically demanding job plus I play softball. Do I need surgery to correct the problems?
Hi, you have torn anterior horn lateral meniscus, partial tear ACL, and popliteal cyst. In my opinion, since you are a player, you should undergo surgery for removal of torn part of Lateral Meniscus. During surgery -arthroscopically doctor will evaluate the ACL also. Popliteal cyst is a small one, and you can avoid surgery for it at present.
