Open versus arthroscopic partial meniscectomy in pure meniscal tears

ABSTRACT

This study is a review of 115 cases of Knee injuries with pure meniscal tears that had been subjected to partial meniscectomy; 67 cases were done through an arthrotomy and 48 cases by using arthroscopy. The results of both open and closed techniques were compared. It was found that the arthroscopic partial meniscectomy is superior to open partial excision
