What is the average settlement for a medial meniscus tear where the tear could not be repaired and the meniscus had to be removed?

What are the differences between the medial and lateral meniscus?
Both the Medial and lateral menisci are outside the synovial cavity but within the joint cavity. The Medial meniscus is larger than the lateral meniscus. The Medial meniscus is C shaped where as the lateral mensicus is circular shaped. The Medial meniscus is directly attached to the medial collateral ligament, where as the Popliteal muscle interferes in between the attachment of lateral meniscus and lateral collateral ligament.

Percentage on disability after knee allograft lateral medial meniscus surgery?
my doctor told me that I have a permanent partial disability after ACL and meniscus surgery, but wasn't sure on the percentage off the top of his head. I am wondering what is the average. Don't know when he will be calling agian.
What is signal intensity with the medial meniscus?
Signal intensity refers to the brightness of an image on a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. When evaluating the medial meniscus, signal intensity can help identify abnormalities such as tears or degeneration. Changes in signal intensity of the medial meniscus can indicate injury or pathology.
Why is the medial meniscus more likely to be injured than the lateral meniscus?
The medial meniscus is more likely to be injured than the lateral meniscus due to its attachment to the medial collateral ligament (MCL), which restricts its mobility and makes it more susceptible to injury during twisting motions of the knee. Additionally, the medial meniscus has a C-shape that makes it more prone to tears, especially during activities that involve rapid changes in direction or weight-bearing. The lateral meniscus, being more mobile and less tethered to surrounding structures, often sustains fewer injuries.
What is the cpt code for arthroscopic medial meniscus repair of the knee?
29882
What is the average settlement cost for a total knee replacement with lateral collateral ligament repair?
Normally you are looking at about 90k yet for medial meniscus I got 35k and for lcl surgery about 70 k.
What does medial meniscus posterior horn intrasubstance signal mean?
Medial meniscus posterior horn intrasubstance signal refers to abnormalities seen in the inner portion of the back part of the knee meniscus on MRI imaging. This signal can indicate degeneration, tears, or other injuries to the meniscus in that specific area, which may require further evaluation and treatment.
