The Effect of Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy or Exercise Therapy as Treatment of Degenerative Meniscus Tears in Middle-aged Patients. A Randomized, Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Arthroscopic partial menisectomy and Supervised neuromuscular and strength training for Degenerative Meniscal Tear. Completed, enrolled 140 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is conducted as a collaboration between NAR, Orthopedic Department, Oslo University Hospital,Ullevaal, Hjelp24Nimi Oslo, Martina Hansens Hospital Norway, and University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark. The investigators hypothesize that exercise is more effective than arthroscopic partial meniscectomy: a) on self-reported outcomes, functional performance and muscle strength in middle-aged patients subsequent to arthroscopic partial meniscectomy for a degenerative meniscus tear, and b) in preventing further development of knee osteoarthritis (OA).
