Looking at different types of inner meniscus tears
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at different patterns of a specific type of meniscus tear in the inner part of the knee. It aims to understand these tears better, and it involves patients who are already having a knee arthroscopy procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old; any age above that is fine.
- You must have knee pain or other signs pointing to an injury to the meniscus (the knee's cushion).
- An MRI must confirm a tear in the back part of the inner meniscus (called the medial meniscus root).
- You cannot have had any previous surgery on the same knee.
- Your knee pain should not be from very severe bone-on-bone arthritis or an inflammatory disease like rheumatoid arthritis.
- You must be having arthroscopy, which is a minor surgery where a small camera is inserted into the knee to look or repair a problem.
- You cannot have other severe ligament tears that need urgent surgery.

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 study compares different treatments for a specific type of knee injury that can lead to arthritis. It aims to find the best way to manage the tear and help keep your knee working well.
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 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 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 study looks at how well meniscus repairs (using the all-inside technique) work over time, both when done alone and when combined with ligament reconstruction. It may help you understand the success of this surgery for your knee.
