average settlement for slip and fall torn meniscus and acl with future surgery
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.
grade i degeneration of posterior horn of medial meniscus
medial collateral, medial meniscus, and anterior cruciate
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.
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.

Normally you are looking at about 90k yet for medial meniscus I got 35k and for lcl surgery about 70 k.
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.
It is when the cartilage in the knee called the meniscus is torn apart. this is also confused with an over-sized meniscus (which i have). it comes with pain, instability, and the sensation of giving out. The meniscus may heal or may not. Surgery to get the meniscus repaired is possible. the injury will most likely not take you out of a sport such as football or baseball.
