Comparing two ways to fix a shifted meniscus in the knee
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to see which better treats a meniscus that has moved out of place (extruded) in the knee, which can cause pain and limited movement. It aims to find the best approach to relieve symptoms and improve knee function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a meniscus that has shifted more than 3 millimeters, seen on an MRI
- You have knee pain or other symptoms because of this shifted meniscus
- Your knee is not significantly misaligned (less than 5 degrees of bowing or knock-kneed)

This trial compares two surgeries for a specific type of meniscus tear that blocks knee straightening: repairing the torn meniscus versus removing the damaged part. The goal is to see which leads to better recovery.
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.
This study looks at results after a particular surgery to repair a meniscus root tear in the knee. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and what outcomes to expect.
This trial compares surgery with non-surgical treatment for a specific tear in the knee's meniscus, the posterior-medial root tear. It aims to find out which approach works better and helps you decide with your doctor.
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.
This study compares two different ways of surgically repairing a torn meniscus (the cartilage in your knee) using a camera. It is for patients under 19 who have a fresh, complete tear from a single injury and haven't had knee surgery before.
