11/01/2010 - "Meniscal allograft transplantation may result in important pain relief and functional improvement in patients with a history of (sub)total meniscectomy and pain localized in the affected compartment. "
07/01/2023 - "Adoption of a needle arthroscopic technique for partial meniscectomy was associated with significantly improved VAS and KOOS pain scores two-weeks post-operatively. "
07/01/2023 - "Partial meniscectomy using needle arthroscopy associated with significantly less pain and improved patient reported outcomes at two weeks after surgery: A comparison to standard knee arthroscopy."
04/01/2022 - "In this randomized controlled trial (RCT) involving subjects with knee pain following partial meniscectomy, it was hypothesized that treatment with a synthetic medial meniscus replacement (MMR) implant provides significantly greater improvements in knee pain and function compared to non-surgical care alone. "

07/15/2023 - "In order to delay the occurrence of osteoarthritis, the best treatment of meniscus has undergone an important change from partial meniscectomy to meniscal repair, and the indications for meniscal repair have been expanding. "
12/01/2017 - "Currently, the best treatment is to preserve the original meniscus but if it fails, a partial meniscectomy is indicated to delay the onset of osteoarthritis. "
08/01/2018 - "Patients with a clear traumatic history of the knee have better improvement in visual analog scale (p < 0.001), KSS functional score (p = 0.005), and WOMAC score (p < 0.001), patients with K-L grade greater than III were 3.1 times more likely to undergo conversion to TKA than patients with K-L grade less than III. The findings indicate that patients older than 60 years with mild osteoarthritis and clear traumatic history of the meniscus are a good indication for arthroscopic partial meniscectomy. "
07/01/2013 - "Arthroscopic finding that proved significant correlation with worsening of the arthrosis towards TKA were: meniscal tears of the posterior horn (P=.02), meniscectomies above 60% (P=.03), and 2nd degree chondral lesions in loading areas of the medial femoral condyle (P=.02). "
08/01/2010 - "Arthroscopic meniscal repair offers significantly improved results for isolated traumatic meniscal tears regarding the long-term follow-up in osteoarthritis prophylaxis and sports activity recovery compared with partial meniscectomy."

04/01/2023 - "Immediate postoperative pain relief following arthroscopic partial meniscectomy remains a critical contributor to improved patient experience, early recovery of range of motion, and enhanced rehabilitation. "
09/01/2013 - "The saphenous nerve block using a landmark-based approach has shown promise in reducing postoperative pain in patients undergoing arthroscopic medial meniscectomy. "
09/01/2006 - "The aim of this study was to compare intra-articular anesthesia alone versus general anesthesia with regard to ease of the procedure, level of postoperative pain, and patient satisfaction when partial meniscectomy is anticipated. "
07/01/2023 - "to compare immediate post-operative pain and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after partial meniscectomy with needle (NA) vs. standard (SA) arthroscopy technique. "
07/01/2022 - "We utilized a low-resource SNB in knee arthroscopy for partial meniscectomy and meniscus repair as an adjunct therapy for postoperative pain control. "

07/01/2016 - "The potential benefit of arthroscopy as a treatment for knee osteoarthritis is contentious, with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence stating that, "There is uncertainty regarding the efficacy of the procedure." This is a study of a consecutive series of patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, suffering from mechanical symptoms, such as giving way, catching, and locking, and undergoing arthroscopic debridement, including chondroplasty and meniscectomy where appropriate. "
01/14/2020 - "The research objectives of the 5-year and 10-year assessments in the Finnish degenerative meniscal lesion study (FIDELITY) are twofold: (1) to assess the long-term efficacy of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) in adults (age 35 to 65 years) with a degenerative meniscus tear and (2) to determine the respective effects of APM and degenerative meniscus tear on the development of radiographic and clinical knee osteoarthritis (OA). "
03/01/2015 - "Recently published randomized trials have shown limited efficacy for arthroscopic debridement and partial meniscectomy in patients with knee osteoarthritis. "
06/15/2023 - "There is ongoing debate regarding the efficacy of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) for meniscus tears in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). "
08/01/2023 - "This study aimed to demonstrate the bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition in postmenopausal women with knee osteoarthritis (OA) who underwent surgical treatment, such as total knee arthroplasty, osteotomy, or meniscectomy. "

01/01/2021 - "Clinical studies have demonstrated significant advantages of combined anterior cruciate ligament and anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ACL+ALLR) over isolated ACL reconstruction (ACLR) with respect to reduced graft rupture rates, a lower risk of reoperation for secondary meniscectomy, improved knee stability, and higher rates of return to sports. "
07/01/2021 - "Specifically, comparative series have demonstrated significant advantages of ALLR when compared against isolated ACLR with respect to reduced rates of ACL graft rupture, secondary meniscectomy, persistent instability, and significantly improved functional outcomes and improved return to sport metrics."
01/01/2018 - "The study aims to determine the primary study question for randomized controlled trials; to evaluate the study questions in trials on effectiveness of arthroscopic meniscectomy for meniscal rupture of the knee; and to explore the clinical and research implications. "
08/01/2013 - "The present study suggests that anterior radial tear causes the highest risk for the development of total meniscal rupture, whereas partial meniscectomy increases the risk for the development of OA in lateral tibial cartilage. "
09/01/2023 - "To assess the effect of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy in dogs with bucket handle meniscal tears and tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO), compared with dogs with cranial cruciate ligament rupture and no meniscal tear treated by TPLO alone. "
