NIHR Portfolio Studies - open to recruitment

     MeTeOR2: The Meniscal Transplant surgery or Optimised Rehabilitation full randomised trial
     Principal Investigator: Mr Andrew Legg
     Sponsor: University of Warwick
     The meniscus is an important structure within the knee. Patients that have damaged their meniscus, and had                                                     a removal of the meniscus (a total meniscectomy) are more likely to develop persistent pain after this                                                                 resulting in years of disability. This study will compare two treatments for patients with a total meniscectomy                                                     - personalised knee physiotherapy or meniscal transplant.
