Meniscus Tear (Torn Meniscus)

Patient image of: Hershel Friedman

I am an avid hiker and lead hiking groups in the mountains of New York. Last year I had fully torn my meniscus and was off my feet. The doctors at HSS, particularly Dr. Robert Marx, did my surgery and got me back on the mountains and doing full hikes again 3 months later.
