Knee problem
My mother aged 51 has been hospitalized due to acute knee pain since Saturday. MRI has highlighted 2 points 1. Linear altered signal intensity in posterior horn of medical meniscus not reaching up to surface Grade II tear 2. A 10x10x12 mm nodular lesion in distal metaphysis of femur. For the time being she is on traction physiotherapy and medications. The doctor has also suggested to undergo surgery as well. Need your guidance on whether the time being treatment will prove beneficial or surgery is the only option. Kindly advise.
