Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if partial meniscal replacement can prevent or postpone total meniscal replacement, in adult patients (female/male) with partial meniscal loss. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Can partial meniscal replacement improve knee function?
* Can partial meniscal replacement prevent/postpone total meniscal replacement/knee prothesis? Researchers will compare the results of the operated group with patients not willing to be operated but with partial meniscal loss to see if the operation improves knee function.

Participants will be operated and have to attend follow-up visits with MRI after 6 months up to 5 years after surgery.
