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 study compares two surgical options for people with ongoing knee pain after having part of their meniscus removed. It tests whether using the patient's own hamstring tendon or a donor meniscus works better to relieve pain and improve function.
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 follows patients who need a meniscus (knee shock-absorber) repair and receive a specific stitching device. The goal is to check how well the device works over time and whether it’s safe and effective.
This trial compares different treatments for knee osteoarthritis caused by a tear where the medial meniscus (the inner cushion of your knee) attaches to the bone. It aims to find the best approach to relieve pain and improve function in people with early to moderate arthritis.
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.
