Surgery usually consisted of partial meniscectomy (n = 56) or diagnostic arthroscopy (n = 8). Radiographs were assessed according to the Kellgren-Lawrence score at the baseline and 5- and 10-year follow-ups. Patient-reported outcome measures were reported at the baseline and 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year follow-ups. Clinical status was assessed at a 10-year follow-up. The primary outcomes were radiographic OA and changes in the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Pain subscale (KOOS\n                      <jats:sub>PAIN<\/jats:sub>\n                      ) from the baseline to the 10-year follow-up.

Radiographic OA was assessed for 95 patients (67%), questionnaires were answered by 110 (77%), and the clinical status was evaluated for 95 (67%). Radiographic OA was present in 67% of the patients in each group ( P\u2265 .999); symptomatic OA was present in 47% of the nonsurgery group and 57% of the surgery group ( P = .301). There were no differences between groups regarding changes from baseline to 10 years in any of the KOOS subscales.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Knee arthroscopic surgery, in most cases consisting of partial meniscectomy or diagnostic arthroscopy, in addition to exercise therapy in middle-aged patients with meniscal symptoms, did not increase the rates of radiographic or symptomatic OA and resulted in similar patient-reported outcomes at the 10-year follow-up compared with exercise therapy alone. Considering the short-term benefit and no long-term harm from knee arthroscopic surgery, the treatment may be recommended when first-line treatment\u2014including exercise therapy for \u22653
