M-A | Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy is not better than sham treatment in patients with degenerative meniscus tears

31 Jan, 2023 | 14:05h | UTC

Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy vs non-surgical or sham treatment in patients with MRI-confirmed degenerative meniscus tears: a systematic review and meta-analysis with individual participant data from 605 randomised patients – Osteoarthritis and Cartilage

RT | Routine early arthroscopic partial meniscectomy is not superior to physical therapy for traumatic meniscal tears.

Long-term follow up of a RCT | Physical therapy noninferior to early arthroscopic partial meniscectomy in patients with degenerative meniscal tears.

Systematic Review | No evidence in support of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy in adults with degenerative and nonobstructive meniscal symptoms.

Systematic Review: Arthroscopic surgery provides little or no clinically important benefit for patients with degenerative knee disease.
