Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and elucidate potential causes of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy failure.
  • To improve preoperative counseling for patients undergoing this procedure.
  • To enhance the understanding of factors influencing meniscal surgery success.

Main Methods:

  • Review of potential causes for meniscectomy failure.
  • Analysis of preoperative factors impacting surgical outcomes.
