2022 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-What have we learned from MeTeOR

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker, on behalf of the METEOR team, discusses the METEOR study, a randomized trial comparing physical therapy to arthroscopic partial meniscectomy in patients with meniscus tears and knee osteoarthritis. The study, funded by NIH and registered as a clinical trial, aimed to investigate the optimal management of meniscus tears in these patients. The speaker explains the study's eligibility criteria, interventions, and primary and secondary outcomes. They also mention the initial publication in the New England Journal of Medicine, which showed similar outcomes between the two groups, but with a significant crossover from non-operative to surgical treatment. The speaker concludes that further analysis on longer-term outcomes and subgroup analysis is underway. No credits are explicitly mentioned.
