Knee injury

2017-09-02 15:08:01
My friend has a knee injury and I would like to know if it requires surgery? And if so is it a meniscus repair or a meniscectomy? Can he resume his normal activities until having the surgery or it's gonna make worse and he needs crutches? Also he is a martial artist under 25 years can he continue on that after recovery not using the injured leg?
