In the case of a meniscectomy, even a partial one, the risk of osteoarthritis increases. |
Meniscal injuries were treated arthroscopically by rasping, suturing, or partial meniscectomy, according to the size and location of the lesion. |
The time between injury and operative treatment was longer than in the meniscectomy group. |
A partial medial meniscectomy was performed by using a basket forceps and shaver. |
When I was in college, I injured the lateral meniscus in my right knee and had a meniscectomy. |
Purpose: To compare long-term performance of meniscal allografts transplanted immediately after meniscectomy and allografts transplanted 6 weeks after meniscectomy. |
