Pihl K, et al. - Researchers evaluated whether younger (≤40 years) and older patients (>40 years) with preoperative mechanical symptoms improved more in patient-reported outcomes after meniscal surgery vs those without mechanical symptoms. They included the patients from Knee Arthroscopy Cohort Southern Denmark (KACS) undergoing arthroscopic surgery for a meniscal tear who completed online questionnaires before surgery, and at 12 and 52 weeks follow-up. Greater improvements after arthroscopic surgery were experienced by younger patients with preoperative mechanical symptoms compared to younger patients without mechanical symptoms.
