medial meniscus
I want to know what the difference is between a small vertically oriented longitudinal tear in the peripheral one third of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus appears to communicate with the inferior meniscal surface and a horizontal tear along the inferior joint surface in the posterior horn of medial meniscus, with extension of the horizontal intrasubstance tear into the body?

that is what i was wondering the doctor claimed he fixed it in feb 2012 i fell the end of aug and fratcured the tibia bone and the second tear.
Why was the 1st tear not repaired. Without a statement saying the tears are intersecting at any point, there's no way to answer that. But, even if they don't intersect, the old one could have very well led to the 2nd.
the small vertical is from last year the other is from two weeks ago and i wanted clarifaction that they were two differnet tears even though they were in the same side
