Knee function after arthroscopic meniscectomy. A prospective study
Abstract
In a prospective study, operation under arthroscopy was done in 100 consecutive patients (11 women and 89 men) with a lesion of one meniscus. Meniscectomy was done in 86 patients with medial meniscus tears and in 14 with lateral tears. After 2 weeks, 85 patients were back at work.
