Functionality of Lower Limbs in Patients Who Have Undergone Knee Meniscectomy

Introduction. Meniscal lesions are common and are associated with the development of osteoarthritis of the knee. Work activities that cause mechanical stress can lead to acute or chronic injuries. The surgical treatment for this injury is meniscectomy. Physiotherapy is a widely accepted first-line treatment for patients with meniscus tears. Objective. To assess the clinical and functional status of patients who have undergone meniscus surgery with and without post-surgical physiotherapy. Material and method. Multicenter ambispective cohort study. 89 patients who have undergone meniscectomy will be recruited. The primary variable of the study will be functionality (Time Up \& Go), with the prescription of a post-surgical physiotherapy treatment being the dependent variable. The secondary variables, estimated as modifying or confounding, will be range of motion (goniometry), pain intensity (visual analog scale) and kinesiophobia (Tampa scale).
