Abstract
Background: Meniscal tears are the most common injury in the knee, affecting 66/100,000 people per year. Surgical treatment includes arthroscopic meniscectomy or meniscal repair. Little is known regarding medium-term outcomes following these procedures in isolated meniscal tears. This study aims to quantitatively evaluate patients with meniscal tears, and those who have undergone meniscectomy and meniscal repair using validated patient reported outcome measures (PROMs), further exploring factors which affect surgical outcomes.
