简要总结
Standard arthroscopy has been the gold standard for treatment of meniscus tears since the 1980's. The purpose of this study is to analyze the clinical outcomes of using the smaller diameter Nanoscope for partial menisectomy. The authors hypothesize that the Nanoscopic partial menisectomy patients will have less pain and return function faster than standard arthroscopy.

研究组 & 干预措施
Nanoscopic Partial Meniscectomy
This is the experimental group. patients will have a partial meniscectomy performed using the arthrex nanoscope
干预措施: Nanoscopic partial meniscectomy (Procedure)
Standard Partial Meniscectomy
Patients will have a partial meniscectomy performed using standard arthroscopic equipment which is the current gold standard
干预措施: Standard Partial Meniscectomy (Procedure)
结局指标
主要结局
Functional Outcomes following partial meniscectomy: Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Score
时间窗: 6 weeks
We will be looking at functional outcomes following partial meniscectomy with the nanoscope compared to standard arthroscopy by looking at Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Score (O -100 with higher being patients doing better functionally)
Functional Outcomes Following Partial Meniscectomy: International Knee Documentation Committee Score
时间窗: 6 weeks
We will be looking at functional outcomes following partial meniscectomy with the nanoscope compared to standard arthroscopy by looking at the International Knee Documentation Committee Score (0-100 with higher being patients doing better functionally)
次要结局
- Return to work(6 weeks)
- Pain: Visual Analog Pain Score(6 weeks)
- Narcotic Medication Use(24 hours)
