Chart review for demographic characteristics and preoperative and minimum 2\u2010year postoperative PROs\u2014including International Knee Documentation Committee subjective knee evaluation, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, Short Form 12 Physical Component Summary, and Short Form 12 Mental Component Summary\u2014as well as information regarding mechanism of injury, was completed. The minimal clinically important difference and patient acceptable symptom state were also assessed. Patients were split into two groups depending on whether they had both meniscal roots repaired (dual\u2010repair group) or they had one meniscus repaired, underwent partial meniscectomy, or underwent no meniscal repair (non\u2013dual\u2010repair group).

The median age of the subjects was 57 years. At baseline and minimum 2\u2010year follow\u2010up, there were no differences in PROs between the two groups.
