After an arthroscopic partial meniscectomy for symptomatic DLM, unfavorable clinical outcomes were shown in > 30% of the patients during a mean follow-up of 10.0 years. Clinical outcomes based on the patient-reported outcome measures were related to durations of symptoms prior to surgery and alignment at the last follow-up. In radiological and MRI assessments, progression of degeneration of articular cartilages in the lateral compartments of the knees and residual menisci was observed.
