Can your meniscus heal without surgery? 

CAN MY MENISCUS HEAL WITHOUT SURGERY??? 🤔 Here’s the Truth from Dr. P. You wouldn’t believe how often I get asked this—online and in the clinic: “Can my meniscus tear heal without surgery?” The answer? It depends on the tear—and the zone. Let me break it down with Dr. P’s 3 Secrets… Secret #1: The Red-Red Zone Has Healing Power The outer third of your meniscus—called the red-red zone—has a rich blood supply. That means small tears here (less than 1 cm) can sometimes heal on their own, especially if they’re stable and not causing mechanical symptoms…and with regenerative medicine techniques like laser therapy, PRP, and bone marrow aspirate cells, we often accelerate or enhance the healing process without needing surgery. Even larger tears in this outer zone can heal over 80-90% of the time with surgical repair and sutures—especially when we add regenerative tools to the mix. In fact, in some cases, we’ve helped these heal without surgery at all. Secret #2: The Red-White Zone Is the Gray Area (Literally and Figuratively) This is the middle third of the meniscus. Part of the tear is in the vascularized red zone, and part is in the non-vascular white zone. These typically do need to be stitched up if they’re to heal—and we always use regenerative medicine to boost success. Why? Because the white side doesn’t get much blood flow, so PRP, BMAC, and laser help bring healing blood flow and cells to a place where blood can’tnormally go. Secret #3: The White-White Zone Is a Tough Spot The inner third of the meniscus—the white-white zone—is not vascularized. No blood = very poor healing potential. Most tears here can’t be repaired. We usually have to trim the damaged part out with a partial meniscectomy—removing the tear while preserving as much of the meniscus as possible. The goal is always to protect your knee’s shock absorber. Bottom Line: Every meniscus tear is different.
