Results of arthroscopic meniscectomy.
It would appear that arthroscopic partial menisectomy offers as good, if not better, results compared with open meniscectomy. Authors who have compared patients undergoing open meniscectomy with those undergoing arthroscopic meniscectomy have also shown that the other variables and parameters so important to the patient in the early postoperative period weight very heavily in favor of arthroscopic meniscectomy.
