I tore my meniscus in June of 2015. My MRI was non-conclusive so I underwent physical therapy locally with limited results. In December of 2015, Dr. McCarthy completed an MRI and identified the tear. I had surgery February 19th and on June 8, 2016 I hiked 9.5 miles up the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. It took me 7.5 hours in 110 degree heat, but I completed it with very little knee pain.
