Study of treatment for a painful discoid meniscus in children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial is for children who have a painful discoid meniscus (a cartilage in the knee) confirmed by an orthopedic exam and MRI. It tests whether a specific study approach can help symptoms in children, while avoiding people who may need different knee treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- A parent or legal guardian can give consent before the study starts
- No prior knee surgeries or other knee surgeries currently
- No other knee ligament injuries that would need surgery
- No current or past knee fractures and no inflammatory or arthritis-type conditions

This trial tests whether a wearable device (like a smartwatch or sensor) can help you recover better after arthroscopic knee surgery for a discoid meniscus injury. The device will track your movement and guide your rehabilitation exercises at home.
This trial is testing a new artificial meniscus (knee cushion) for people who still have pain on the outside of their knee after having part of their meniscus removed. It aims to see if this implant can reduce pain and let you get back to daily activities without needing a knee replacement.
This trial tests a donated human meniscus implant (Spongioflex®) for people who have lost part of the wedge-shaped cushion in their knee and have pain on that side. The goal is to replace the missing piece and relieve pain, helping you avoid or delay more serious 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 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 looks at a treatment for a specific knee alignment and tissue problem inside the inner (medial) part of your knee. It may help people whose deep-squat knee pain is caused by rubbing (“impingement”) between the femur and the back part of the medial meniscus.
