Meniscal tears are the most common knee condition requiring surgery, and represent a substantial disease burden with clinical and cost implications. The success rates of partial meniscectomy and meniscal repair have been studied, but limited information is available investigating their long-term costs and effects. Our objective was to assess the long-term cost-effectiveness of meniscal repair compared to meniscectomy in the Uniteed States.
