About the study
Patients who have had a meniscectomy (removal of cushioning cartilage, known as the meniscus, from the knee) after damaging the meniscus may develop persistent knee pain, resulting in years of disability.
At present, there are several treatment options ranging from knee therapy (physiotherapy) to replacing the cartilage, also known as a 'meniscal transplant'.
In this study, we will compare two treatments - physiotherapy and meniscal transplant - for patients with pain and/or functional loss after a meniscectomy.
