Methods: Clinical outcomes of 19 patients who had partial medial meniscectomy and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction during the same surgery (Group 1) were compared with the outcomes of 25 patients who had also reconstruction but did not have any meniscal lesion (Group 2). Median follow-up time was 29months (range 12-67months) in Group 1 and 27months (range 12-70months) in Group 2. Feeling of apprehension in sports activities, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, KT-2000 Arthrometer® measurements and post-operative time to return to sports activity were the criteria for data analysis. Results: Eight patients (42%) in Group 1 and 5 patients (20%) in Group 2 stated feeling of apprehension in sports activities. IKDC score improved to A in 11 patients (58%) from Group 1, and 18 patients (72%) from Group 2. Mean anterior translation according to KT-2000 arthrometer measurements was 5.2±1.3mm in Group 1, and 4.6±1.3mm in Group 2. Post-operative time to return to sports activity was 8.5±3.0months in Group 1, and 6.5±2.2months in Group 2. Conclusion: Partial meniscectomy for irreparable medial meniscal tears, applied during the same surgery with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, negatively affects the clinical outcomes in the short-term follow-up. This study may be a reference for long-term clinical trials and also future investigations of new methods in the treatment of similar cases. Level of evidence: IV.
