Cost analysis of meniscus tear surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial studies the costs of a common knee surgery for a torn meniscus. It may help if you need surgery to remove part of the meniscus and are otherwise healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need surgery to remove part of the inner or middle meniscus (not the front part).
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- Your BMI is 35 or lower.
- Your knee is properly aligned (not too bowed or knocked).
- You haven't had major arthritis in that knee (grade 2 or higher).
- You haven't had surgery on that knee in the past 12 months.

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 study looks at how fear of movement before knee surgery affects recovery after arthroscopic meniscus surgery. It may help understand why some people have better outcomes than others.
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.
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 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 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.
