Meniscal tears are the most common knee condition requiring surgery, and represent a substantial disease burden with long-term clinical and cost implications. Research performed over the past two decades has shed light on the success rates of the two primary treatment strategies—partial meniscectomy and meniscus repair. However, only limited information is available about the long-term costs and effects of these strategies. Our objective was to assess the long-term cost-effectiveness of meniscus repair compared to meniscectomy.
