Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) is one of the most common surgical procedures in the world. However, the value of APM has come under intense scrutiny.1 Multiple randomized clinical trials, including the sham surgery–controlled Finnish Degenerative Meniscal Lesion Study (FIDELITY),2 revealed no benefit from the procedure in patients with degenerative meniscal tears compared with exercise and physical therapy.3,4 Evidence that may support an APM-only procedure (APM not associated with a ligament, cartilage, or meniscus repair) is for a small subset of patients with an acute traumatic meniscal tear, but these typically occur in younger, non-Medicare patients. Despite this, APM-only procedures continue to be common among Medicare beneficiaries.1 To better understand the disparity between the medical evidence and current orthopedic practice, we designed this study to measure surgeon practice patterns of APM-only procedures.

美国退行性疾病关节镜部分半月板切除术的外科医生实践模式低价值护理的一种措施

关节镜部分半月板切除术(APM)是世界上最常见的外科手术之一。但是,APM的价值受到了严格的审查。1多项随机临床试验,包括假手术控制的芬兰退行性半月板病变研究(FIDELITY),2显示与运动和物理疗法相比,退行性半月板撕裂患者的手术无益处。3 ,4可能支持仅APM手术的证据(与韧带,软骨或半月板修复无关的APM)是针对一小部分患有急性外伤性半月​​板撕裂的患者,但这些通常发生在年轻的非医疗保险患者中。尽管如此,在医疗保险的受益人中,仅采用APM的程序仍然很普遍。1为了更好地了解医学证据与当前的骨科实践之间的差异,我们设计了本研究,以测量仅采用APM程序的外科医生实践模式。
