Treating Different Types of Meniscus Root Tears
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study evaluates how to best treat tears in the back of the meniscus (cartilage cushion in your knee). Researchers will examine different tear patterns during knee surgery to understand which treatment works best for your specific tear.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have a tear in the posterior horn (back part) of the medial meniscus (inner cartilage), confirmed by MRI
- You are scheduled for knee arthroscopy (minimally invasive knee surgery with a camera)
- You have not had previous surgery on this knee
- You do not have severe osteoarthritis (advanced wear-and-tear) in the affected knee
- You do not have inflammatory or rheumatoid arthritis

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 study looks at whether moving a torn inner knee cartilage back into place helps reduce the amount it sticks out. It is for people with a specific type of tear (Type 2) on MRI, whose cartilage has shifted by 3 to 6 millimeters.
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 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 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 early-phase study tests whether AM3101 can improve healing of a meniscus tear in the knee. Participants must meet age, scan, and health-lab requirements, and they will be closely followed during recovery to check safety and benefit.
