Summary

Standard arthroscopy has been the gold standard for treatment of meniscus tears since the 1980's. The purpose of this study is to analyze the clinical outcomes of using the smaller diameter Nanoscope for partial menisectomy. The authors hypothesize that the Nanoscopic partial menisectomy patients will have less pain and return function faster than standard arthroscopy.

Conditions

• Meniscus Tear

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Nanoscopic partial meniscectomy	Patients will have a partial meniscectomy performed using the arthrex nanoscope and it will be compared to partial meniscectomy performed using standard arthroscopic equipment
PROCEDURE	Standard Partial Meniscectomy	Patients will have partial meniscectomy performed using standard arthroscopic equipment
