Your knee is not stable with a torn meniscus. You can be walking and all of a sudden, the knee can go out. That happened to me and I had surgery to correct the problem. They gave me crutches after the surgery but they weren't really needed.

This is because the meniscus is a cartilage in the knee joint that helps with stability and smooth movement, so when it is torn, it can lead to pain and limitations in the knee joint and potentially affect the entire leg's function.
