2019, Clinical RadiologyCitation Excerpt :Because degenerative meniscal tears commonly accompany knee osteoarthritis, they may be difficult to isolate and to diagnose clinically.1,4 There has been much debate in recent years about the best treatment for degenerative meniscal lesions.5–10 Treatment options include watchful waiting, physiotherapy, medical treatment with acetaminophen and/or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs], intra-articular injection with corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid, arthroscopic partial meniscectomy, and ultimately total knee replacement.8,9,11
