With this study we would like to investigate whether a certain, critical loss of meniscal volume, is critical to the development of pain.
Background and rationale It is known that a partial meniscectomy of the knee is a risk factor to the development of early osteoarthritis with complaints of pain.
Trial objectives and Design 2.1 Trial objectives With this study we would like to investigate whether a certain, critical loss of meniscal volume, is critical to the development of pain.
2.2 Primary endpoints How much volume can be resected peroperatively without developing postoperative pain.
2.3 Secondary endpoints A possible correlation between the resected volume and the severity of the pain.
