    Partial meniscectomy offered superior symptom relief compared to total meniscectomy one year post-operation. However, both knee surgery types showed similar radiological changes and time off work.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Knee Meniscus Repair
    • Clinical Outcomes Research

    Background:

    • Meniscal tears are common knee injuries.
    • Surgical options include partial and total meniscectomy.
    • Optimal surgical approach remains debated.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the clinical outcomes of partial versus total meniscectomy.
    • To evaluate symptom relief and need for re-operation.
    • To assess radiological changes after meniscectomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective clinical study of 200 patients undergoing arthrotomy.
    • 100 patients allocated to partial meniscectomy, 100 to total meniscectomy.
    • Follow-up at 2 and 12 months post-operation.

    Main Results:

    • No significant difference in duration of symptoms, age, or sex between groups.
    • No difference in time off work.
    • Partial meniscectomy group showed significantly greater symptom relief at 1 year.
    • Re-operation rates were 6/98 for partial and 4/94 for total meniscectomy.
    • No difference in radiological changes observed between groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Partial meniscectomy provides better symptom relief one year after surgery.
    • Total meniscectomy may require re-operation if posterior horn remnants are left.
    • Both procedures result in comparable radiological changes.
