Hello, Vinit Naik Ji,

A meniscus tear in the right leg may or may not require surgery, depending on the severity and type of the tear. Treatment options generally include:

  1. Conservative Management: If the tear is minor or if symptoms can be managed with physical therapy, rest, and anti-inflammatory medications, surgery might not be necessary.

  2. Surgical Intervention: For more severe tears or if conservative treatments do not relieve symptoms, surgery might be recommended. Common procedures include meniscectomy (removal of the damaged part) or meniscus repair.

It’s best to consult an orthopaedic specialist who can evaluate the extent of the tear through physical examination and imaging studies like an MRI. They will provide guidance on the most appropriate treatment based on your specific condition.

If you need help finding a specialist or have further questions, you can use the 'Doctor Consultation' option on the HexaHealth app.
