About this listen

The academic paper dissected is Part II of the Formal EU-US Meniscus Rehabilitation 2024 Consensus, a collaborative effort by European and American orthopedic and physical therapy societies. The consensus provides evidence-based recommendations for the prevention of meniscus injuries, the non-operative treatment of acute tears and degenerative lesions, and criteria for return to sport after meniscus injuries or surgeries. Developed by 67 experts from 14 countries using a formal consensus methodology, it acknowledges a low to moderate level of scientific evidence in current literature. The document aims to offer updated and structured guidance for surgeons and physiotherapists in managing meniscus pathology, complementing Part I which covered post-surgical rehabilitation.
