Knee function after meniscus removal surgery
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how well people can use their legs after having part of the knee cartilage (meniscus) removed. It aims to understand recovery and may help improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 65 years old.

- You can walk without a cane, walker, or other help.
- You can do daily activities on your own, like dressing and bathing.
- You do not have memory or thinking problems that would make it hard to understand the tests.

This study looks at how being afraid to move your knee before surgery might affect your recovery after arthroscopic meniscus surgery. It may help doctors better prepare patients for surgery and improve outcomes.
This study measures how your knee moves during everyday activities before your knee arthroscopy. The goal is to better understand knee function and improve future treatments.
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 checks how loose the knee feels during surgery for ACL reconstruction, ACL revision, or meniscus transplantation. The goal is to better assess knee stability during the operation, which may help surgeons choose the best repair.
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 how well meniscus transplants work over time — including how long the graft lasts and how it protects knee cartilage. It may be a good fit if you are getting your first or a repeat meniscus transplant, sometimes along with other knee repairs.
