Common knee surgery may do more harm than good, 10-year study shows

A decade-long study from Finland reveals that a commonly performed knee surgery for meniscus tears may not be as effective as expected. Patients often experienced persistent or worsening pain post-surgery. This study challenges the prevailing belief in the benefits of the procedure and suggests that long-term outcomes could be much worse than previously thought. With these findings, it’s crucial to reconsider the standard practices and explore alternative treatments to better serve patients' long-term health.
