Of 250 patients scheduled for meniscectomy 50 had symptoms which subsided and operation could be deferred; of the remaining 200 only 73 per cent were found to have a significant tear. It is shown that the risks of removing a normal meniscus far exceed those of leaving a tear in the posterior third. Statistical analysis of clinical features revealed no reliable diagnostic pattern.
在计划进行半月板切除术的250例患者中，有50例症状缓解，手术可延期进行；在其余200例患者中，仅73%被发现有明显撕裂。结果表明，切除正常半月板的风险远远超过在后三分之一处留下撕裂的风险。对临床特征的统计分析未发现可靠的诊断模式。
