Five-year outcome of operative and nonoperative management of meniscal tear in persons older than forty-five years

Arthritis & Rheumatology Jan 16, 2020

Katz JN, Shrestha S, Losina E, et al. - Researchers examined 5-year follow-up data from the Meniscal Tear in Osteoarthritis Research trial (METEOR) of physical therapy vs arthroscopic partial meniscectomy in order to discover the 5-year outcome of treatment for meniscal tear in osteoarthritis. They performed primary intent-to-treat (ITT) and secondary as-treated analyses. They randomized 341 individuals who took part. Among both groups, in the ITT analysis, the knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score pain scores were ~46 at baseline. In both groups, pain scores improved substantially over the first 3 months, proceeded to improve through the next 24 months, and were stable at 24–60 months. It was found that among both groups, pain improved considerably over 60 months.
