Abstract
Purpose: Higher knee load and quadriceps weakness are potential factors involved in the pathogenesis of knee osteoarthritis after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM). In people following APM, this study evaluated the association between external knee joint moments and quadriceps strength and 2-yr change in indices of cartilage integrity in the medial tibiofemoral compartment and patella. Methods: Seventy people with medial APM were assessed 3 months after APM (baseline) and reassessed 2 yr later (follow-up). At baseline, isokinetic quadriceps strength and the external knee adduction moment (peak and impulse) and knee flexion moment (peak) during walking were assessed. Magnetic resonance ..
