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.

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nanoscopic partial meniscectomy | Procedure | Patients will have a partial meniscectomy performed using the arthrex nanoscope and it will be compared to partial meniscectomy performed using standard arthroscopic equipment |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Functional Outcomes following partial meniscectomy: Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Score | We will be looking at functional outcomes following partial meniscectomy with the nanoscope compared to standard arthroscopy by looking at Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Score (O -100 with higher being patients doing better functionally) | 6 weeks |
| Functional Outcomes Following Partial Meniscectomy: International Knee Documentation Committee Score | We will be looking at functional outcomes following partial meniscectomy with the nanoscope compared to standard arthroscopy by looking at the International Knee Documentation Committee Score (0-100 with higher being patients doing better functionally) | 6 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Pain: Visual Analog Pain Score | Pain following partial meniscectomy with the nanoscope compared to standard arthroscopy using Visual Analog Pain Score (0-10 with 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain) | 6 weeks |
