Check if a marrow venting procedure helps meniscus stitches heal
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a “marrow venting” step during arthroscopic surgery can improve healing of stitched meniscus tears. It may help people whose meniscus tears are repairable with sutures, but eligibility is limited by tear type and overall health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your knee injury must be a meniscus tear that can be repaired with stitches during arthroscopy
- Your tear must be on one side of the knee only (not both knees/side-by-side)
- You are between 18 and 45 years old
- Your body weight falls in the BMI range of 18.5 to under 35
- You must be able to sign consent to take part in the study

This trial compares two ways to treat persistent knee pain after a partial meniscectomy using a tissue graft to replace the missing meniscus – either the patient's own hamstring tendon or a donor meniscus. It may help people whose knee pain continues months after their first surgery.
This trial tests a new approach to prevent arthritis after surgery to remove part of a torn meniscus. It looks at whether a treatment can stop the knee from wearing down after the operation.
This trial tests a surgical technique to fix a certain type of meniscus tear (called a root tear) by stitching it to the knee's posterior cruciate ligament. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients recover better.
This trial tests a special sleeve designed to help reduce pain and improve recovery after knee surgery for a torn meniscus. It may be a good option if you are having this type of knee surgery and are in generally good health.
This study compares different treatments for a specific type of knee injury that can lead to arthritis. It aims to find the best way to manage the tear and help keep your knee working well.
This trial tests a new surgical approach for a specific type of meniscus tear (the cartilage that cushions the knee) in people who have a mild bow-legged (varus) knee. It combines a small bone cut near the knee with arthroscopic repair to fix the tear.
