Résumé
Background
Needle arthroscopy (NA) may reduce surgical trauma compared with conventional arthroscopy (CA), but evidence regarding therapeutic meniscal repair remains limited.
Purpose
To compare pain, functional outcomes, and return to work after single-implant repair of selected short medial meniscus tears using NA versus CA. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2.
