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).
