Changes of Rheological Properties During Various Degrees of Knee Flexion after Meniscectomy

Knee joint changes after meniscectomy.

This paper records an investigation of changes found in the knee joint at intervals ranging from three months to fourteen years after meniscectomy. In a search of the literature only one reference to these changes has been found.
