- Abstract
A study examined the effectiveness of surgical therapy compared to exercise therapy in individuals under 40 years old with a meniscus tear. Previous studies had mainly included older individuals. The randomized study included 121 participants and found that there was no significant difference in outcomes between the two groups. Both treatment methods were effective, with results tending to be slightly better in the surgical group. The authors of the study emphasize that the preferences of the affected individual are important in the therapy decision.
