This study reports the clinical results of 15 patients who underwent open partial meniscectomy for isolated medial meniscus injury. In all cases, the meniscus was torn horizontally or transversely at the posterior segment or corner. Knee pain decreased without complications in all cases, and paresthesia of the anterior lower leg was observed in one case. This method is useful when the scope is limited because it can be performed without impairing the articular surface.
