  • 2

    Increased knee adduction moment (KAM) after medial arthroscopic partial meniscectomy is linked to degenerative joint disease.

  • 3

    The study aimed to assess whether compartment-unloading strategies could enhance recovery following arthroscopic partial meniscectomy.

  • 4

    Patients were randomized into three groups: knee brace, wedge insole, and control, with no specific unloading therapy for the control group.

  • 5

    The study found no significant differences in knee scores, physical activity, or general health outcomes among the treatment groups.
