      Conventional Method and Arthroscopy: An Original Research.

AB  - INTRODUCTION: To assess physical activity and knee function, the two methods of 
      conventional supervised exercise and the arthroscopic partial meniscectomy 
      trailed by exercise were evaluated after a nontraumatic meniscal (medial) tear 
      that was confirmed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: 
      One hundred adult subjects were assessed for the current prospective research. 
      The pain in the knee was assessed using the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis 
      Outcome Score (KOOS), Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale (LKSS), Tegner Activity Scale 
      (TAS), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). All the parameters were compared at the 
      start of the study and 2 and 6 months after the intervention. All the data were 
      compared using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) with P < 0.05 considered as 
      significant. RESULTS: According to the outcome scores, exercising by itself did 
      not result in a larger improvement than an arthroscopic partial medial 
      meniscectomy. There was a significant reduction in discomfort, improved function, 
      and satisfaction for subjects in the two groups (P < 0.0001). After six months, 
      40% of the subjects reported that the activity levels were similar to the 
      incidence of the injury. CONCLUSION: The quality of life was reported to be 
      comparable in the arthroscopy subjects and the conventional group subjects. 
      Hence, arthroscopy can be delayed for the meniscal tear in the adult subjects who 
      are best managed by the conservatively managed.
