Summary
Brief summary
Given the important role of meniscal repair in the restoration of normal knee mechanics and loading characteristics, the high prevalence of symptomatic meniscal tears, and the relative lack of published research in patients embarking on isolated meniscal repair, this study aims to ascertain the postoperative clinical and radiological outcome of patients undergoing varied surgical meniscal repair techniques (dictated by the nature, type and severity of the meniscal tear) for symptomatic and painful meniscal tears.
