    Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy offers faster recovery and fewer complications than open surgery for knee meniscus tears. This minimally invasive approach shows comparable short-term outcomes, especially beneficial for older patients with mechanical meniscal issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Sports Medicine
    • Knee Arthroscopy

    Background:

    • Meniscal tears are common knee injuries.
    • Traditional open meniscectomy has limitations in recovery time and complications.
    • Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy is a less invasive alternative.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the short-term outcomes of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy with conventional open meniscectomy.
    • To evaluate recovery metrics including sick leave duration and return to sport.
    • To assess complication rates and overall patient satisfaction.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 116 patients undergoing arthroscopic partial meniscectomy.
    • Comparison with 402 patients previously treated with open meniscectomy.

  • Analysis of follow-up data including sick leave, return to competition, and complications.

    • Main Results:

    • Arthroscopic group had significantly shorter sick leave (4 weeks vs. 10 weeks).
    • Athletes returned to competition faster after arthroscopy (5 weeks vs. 8 weeks).
    • Lower complication rates (7.5% vs. 21.5%) and comparable excellent/good outcomes (84.5% vs. similar).

    Conclusions:

    • Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy provides comparable short-term results to open surgery with faster recovery.
    • The procedure is effective for older patients with mechanical meniscal problems, excluding severe osteoarthritis.
    • Minimally invasive arthroscopy offers advantages in reduced recovery time and fewer approach-related complications.
