Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy Versus Exercise Therapy for Meniscal Injuries in Older Patients, a 5 Year Follow up.

Arthroscopic partial meniscectomie (APM) offers little short-term to medium-term benefit above sham surgery or non-surgical management for knee function in most patients with a symptomatic degenerative meniscus tear. It is suggested that APM is associated with increased risk of accelerated progression of knee osteoarthritis in middle-aged to older patients.

With the 5 year follow-up of the ESCAPE trial we will investigate the longterm results of APM and physical therapy in patients with a meniscal tear over 45 years old.
