The Danish Society of Sports Physical Therapy
commissioned a statement “to determine the key risk factors for meniscal tears,
assess the diagnostic value of different clinical tests used for the diagnosis
of meniscal tears, and evaluate the role of non-surgical treatments for
patients with traumatic and degenerative meniscal tears.” The four tables offer
a nice overview of some key findings.
