Meniscus has two zones : red and white. Red zone tears can be repaired, and white zone removed. But symptomatic significant tears of the meniscus need surgery by arthroscopy. It is a minimally invasive procedure done fairly commonly nowadays and excellent outcomes.
Minor partial thickness tears usually do well with physiotherapy and knee exercises
