Preoperative risk factors contributing to
poor outcomes after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) have

identify which patients will achieve clinical improvement after
APM. Longer symptom duration and higher KL grade were associated
with a decreased likelihood of clinical improvement as measured by
KOOS Pain at 1 year postoperatively.
