Knee biomechanics during jogging after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy: A longitudinal study

Abstract

Background: Altered knee joint biomechanics is thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of knee osteoarthritis and has been reported in patients after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) while performing various activities. Longitudinally, understanding knee joint biomechanics during jogging may assist future studies to assess the implications of jogging on knee joint health in this population. Purpose: To investigate knee joint biomechanics during jogging in patients 3 months after APM and a healthy control group at baseline and 2 years later at follow-up. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Seventy-eight patients who underwent medial APM and 38 healthy controls underw..
