I would imagine surgeries have come a long way in 40 years.

I believe the doctor botched my operation and failed to actually address the problem. I was young and recovered somewhat but was never able to run for long without significant pain. I've had two subsequent surgeries but those doctors preferred to keep their opinions about the first operation to themselves, very much protecting the first. I still have a legal claim for further work for a completely new knee when I must get one. If it's a significant tear he may have lost his speed for good although modern surgical technique may save the day.

The year from hell just gets worse for the broncos. Without his speed I don’t know what else he has..

Iirc you can ask for dispensation if you don't have anyone left who can fill those positions. That might be under the old squad rules though, back when we had the second tier salary cap.
Well all we need to do is retire Boyd and we have a new fullback

We really need to get rid of Boyd and Macca. It’s like they voodoo anyone that has a whiff of taking their positions.

Well Boyd has dodged a bullet because of a meniscus and a popped shoulder.
With Milford and Kennar out injured, there is no way Seibold will sack Boyd now.

It's very dependent on the tear location. Peripherally (outside) the meniscus has good blood supple, medially (centre) there is no blood supply. Another factor is the type/shape of the tear. Some tears can give a locking sensation or even limit range of motion, even after surgery.
In conclusion, could be not much to worry about or could create ongoing issues, no one but his surgeon has any idea at the moment. Ongoing issues are far less likely though as surgery has improved so much in the last few years that the "complex" (risk of issues) surgeries are less and less.

My mrs is going in to have her bucket handle tear fixed in two weeks. Hopefully it goes well. She’s already had a reconstruction on the same knee so who knows.

Good luck to her, she will be fine of course though, it's amazing how advanced surgery is now

That's three seasons in a row that Milf has copped a fairly serious injury. I'm beginning to form a love hate sentiment towards him. I know it's irrational but FMD this team sucks the big one this year.
They were jinxed from the start when (the fuckwit responsible) ok'd our shit stain excuse for a Broncos jersey.
I mean we're the Broncos FFS. The design is lower tier Illawarra Steelers. I haven't seen the polo shirts first hand but the cheap shiny look has the appearance of a cheap job lot that Lowes rejected from China and has simply had a Broncos logo bunged on it. Real classy.

As you said, it depends on location and severity.
I had a 4cm posterior horn tear on my medial meniscus last June, with surgery in August (had to wait for swelling to come down). I had to have a second op this February due to complications from the first, and I am still having problems with it due to constant swelling after exercise (and i was following a rehab program designed by commonwealth games physios with focus on kinetic chain exercises). Depending on Milf's biomechanics (and the location of his tear), he may have no issues or he may have recurring issues. Meniscectomies also carry the risk of osteo-arthritis due to the meniscii' main function of being a shock absorber when moving. Apparently, it's worse to have a lateral than a medial tear as well.
I would put him on ice for the year. He'll most likely need surgery, and considering he'll be gone for 6-8 weeks, there is no point rushing back for 1, maybe 2 dead rubbers as it's incredibly unlikely we'll make finals at this point.
