Knee scan secrets may predict surgery success
NCT ID NCT07089316
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks back at 128 people who had surgery for a specific type of knee tear (medial meniscus posterior root tear). Researchers want to see if measurements from MRI and X-ray taken before surgery can help predict how well the knee heals over the next two years. The goal is to find imaging clues that help doctors decide on the best treatment and give patients a clearer idea of what to expect.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population includes adult patients diagnosed with medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) who underwent arthroscopic repair at Karadeniz Technical University Farabi Hospital between 2020 and 2024, as well as control patients without meniscus tears who had knee MRI and standing radiographs available in the same period. Controls were matched to the MMPRT group based on age, BMI, and mechanical axis distribution to minimize confounding.
