    Patients were divided into three groups: no injury, partial meniscectomy, and meniscal repair, with follow-up lasting at least one year.

  • 3

    Functional scores improved significantly postoperatively, with the no injury group scoring higher than the other two groups.

  • 4

    The repair group incurred higher expenses compared to the no injury and partial meniscectomy groups.
