The patient mean age was 22.4 (16\u201345 years). All subjects were treated with the same surgical technique (arthroscopic OAT from the same side knee, a single cylinder of 6.5\u20139\u00a0mm in diameter) and underwent the same rehabilitation. The mean follow\u2010up was 48\u00a0months (30\u201352\u00a0months). The authors documented the clinical assessment of each patient and carried out a questionnaire which included the VAS scale, MEPS Score and Quick DASH score.

The MEPS score mean post\u2010operative value was 98.3 (range 85\u2013100). The Quick\u2010DASH mean post\u2010operative value was 2.5 (range 0\u20139.1) with a mean improvement of 41.4 points (range 36.4\u201347.7 points).
