In a recent evidence-based review of the literature, the only consistent factor predicting outcome after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy was the extent of osteoarthritis as classified by the modified Outerbridge cartilage score at the time of surgery. All other factors listed (ie, location of meniscal tear, patient age, patient BMI, and amount of meniscal resection) were shown to not predict outcome following partial meniscectomy. While not provided as an answer choice, female gender was shown to be a predictor for slower recovery in the short term.
