What is a Grade 2 meniscus tear?

Ever been told you have a “Grade 2 meniscus signal” on your MRI… but have no clue what that means? You’re not alone. Most people hear that and think it’s a tear—but that’s not always true. Let’s break it down with Dr. P’s 3 Secrets: 1. Not all bright spots mean a tear. A Grade 2 meniscus signal on MRI is a bright area or spot inside the meniscus, but it doesn’t reach the surface—meaning it’s not a true tear (that’s Grade 3). It’s more like a sign of early wear and tear/degeneration, often seen with age or early arthritis. 2. But sometimes, that “not-quite-a-tear” still hurts. If someone has pain, swelling, popping, or limited motion—and there’s no other explanation—that Grade 2 signal might be the culprit. Just because it doesn’t “meet criteria” for a tear doesn’t mean it’s innocent. 3. We can treat the inside of the meniscus—with your own cells. When appropriate, we inject bone marrow cells and/or PRP directly into the degenerating meniscus using ultrasound guidance. At Victory In Motion, home of Knee Repair, NOT Knee Replacement™, this is a straightforward, non-surgical procedure in the hands of our experienced team. We often prefer bone marrow cells, because unlike PRP alone, the cells do the work—they can promote true healing from the inside out. If you’ve been told you need to just “wait until it tears”… that’s outdated thinking. There’s a better way.
