Results clarified the relation between degenerative meniscus lesions and osteoarthritis, in terms of meniscal incompetence. Meniscal extrusion should be seen as an arthrogenic degenerative meniscus lesion. We recommend a management strategy based on terrain and imaging data (X-ray and MRI), with the aim of providing patient relief while conserving cartilage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
