Management of Meniscal Tears: Surgery May Not Be Necessary

Lara C. Pullen, PhD  |  November 18, 2019

Patients with meniscal tear experience similar levels of reduced pain and improved physical function when treated with either arthroscopic partial meniscectomy or physical therapy, according to a recent study. The study also found these improvements were long term—lasting through the five-year follow up…

Does MRI Differentiate Osteoarthritis and Meniscal Tear in Knee Pain?

Kelly April Tyrrell  |  December 19, 2017

When a young patient arrives at a clinic complaining of knee pain with clicking or popping, a meniscal tear is often the culprit. “In young [people], there’s a pretty classic presentation of meniscal tear, with clicking and other mechanical symptoms, because the tear rubs up against different tissues,” says Jeffrey Katz, MD, MSc, a rheumatologist…

Tears of Knee Ligaments & Meniscus Carry Highest Arthritis Risk

Lisa Rapaport  |  January 6, 2020

(Reuters Health)—Young adults who have had knee injuries are much more likely than uninjured peers to develop knee osteoarthritis (OA) by middle age, especially if they have broken bones or torn connective tissue, a recent study suggests. Cruciate ligament injuries were associated with a 19.6% greater risk of knee osteoarthritis, the study found. Meniscal tears…

Is Arthroscopic Meniscal Surgery Effective?

Lara C. Pullen, PhD  |  September 19, 2016

A recent review examined the effectiveness of arthroscopic mensical surgery in treating meniscal injuries. Researchers determined that little evidence exists to support the use of arthroscopic meniscal surgery and more studies that directly compare it with nonoperative treatments are needed…

Case Report: Lipoma Arborescens of the Knee

John Nawrocki, MD, Kevin Hess, DO, & Maryah Mansoor, MBBS  |  May 12, 2022

Lipoma arborescens is a rare, benign intra-articular lesion characterized by diffuse replacement of synovial tissue by mature adipocytes, causing a villous lipomatous proliferation of the synovial membrane.1 Typically, this is a mono­articular condition, with the knee being the most commonly affected although it has been rarely reported to occur in an oligo-/polyarticular fashion and in…

Getting Physical: Telemedicine & the Enduring Value of the Physical Exam

Philip Seo, MD, MHS  |  July 15, 2021

I have been tongue-tied, of late. When I was a medical student, I was told not to turn the physical examination into an aerobic workout. This sage piece of advice was imparted by my physical examination preceptor, who had watched me perform a complete examination on a hapless volunteer. At the time, I thought of…

Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy Tied to Radiographic Knee OA

By Lisa Rapaport  |  September 29, 2020

(Reuters Health)—Patients with a degenerative meniscus tear who get arthroscopic partial meniscectomy have similar five-year outcomes and increased risk of radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA) as without surgery, a small study suggests. Researchers in Finland randomly assigned 146 adults with degenerative meniscus tear confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to receive either arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM)…
