The primary aim of the study is to investigate whether video-based education and exercise-program is non-inferior to in-person instructions in improving pain-related self-efficacy in patients undergoing arthroscopic partial meniscectomy in a day-hospital setting. Secondary aims are to explore the potential superiority of the video-based program compared to in-person instructions in reducing disability and kinesiophobia in the same patient population.

| Video-based education | Behavioral | The video-based education was sent to patients within 5-day before surgery and consists of instructions to follow after surgery on wight-baring on the operated limb, advice to reduce swelling and movements tallowed to be performed. Exercises to perform in the 2 weeks after surgery are shown. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) | The PSEQ assesses patients' confidence in performing daily activities despite pain, with score ranging from 0 to 60 and higher scores indicating greater pain-related self-efficacy. | From enrolment to the 6 weeks after surgery |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) | The WOMAC evaluates knee pain, stiffness, and physical function, with score ranging from 0 to 96 and higher scores reflecting greater pain and functional impairment. | From enrolment to the 3 weeks after surgery |

| Usual Care | Behavioral | Immediately after the surgery in day-hospital setting, a physiotherapist provided in-person instructions to patients assigned to control group. Instructions consists of the same educational content of the video-based group and the same exercises to perform in 2-weeks after surgery are shown and provided on a written spreadsheet. |

The TSK measures fear of movement and re-injury related to pain, with score ranging from 17 to 68 and higher scores indicating greater levels of kinesiophobia. |
