Evaluation of MRI Diagnosed Meniscal Lesions

NCT01492855 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 324

Summary

The knee menisci are two semicircular fibrocartilaginous structures located between the articular cartilage surfaces of the femur and tibia in the medial and lateral joint compartments. The main functions of the menisci are shock absorption and load transmission in the knee, mainly through distribution of mechanical stress over a large area of the joint cartilage.

The hypothesis is that primarily older age, meniscal lesion and high pain score at baseline are associated with poorer outcome.
