Effects of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy on Meniscal Healing, Symptom Relief, and Knee Function

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) combined with home exercise improves healing and function in adults with meniscus tears. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does PEMF therapy help heal meniscus tears, as seen on MRI scans? 2. Does PEMF therapy subjectively reduce knee pain, improve movement, and enhance quality of life? 3. Does PEMF therapy objectively help patients perform daily activities more easily? Researchers will compare PEMF therapy against a sham (inactive) treatment to determine if it provides additional benefits. Participants will: * Be assigned randomly to either the PEMF group (active treatment) or the sham PEMF group (inactive, but identical in appearance) * Receive either real PEMF therapy or sham treatment twice a week for 8 weeks (each session lasts 10 minutes). * Follow a standard home exercise program to strengthen their knees. * Have their knee function, pain levels, and healing progress checked through MRI scans, questionnaires, imaging and physical tests. * Return for 3 follow-up visits after the 8-week treatment period.

The Clinical Study of Bone-patellar Tendon-bone and Quasi-anatomical Meniscus Allograft Transplantation Technique

This clinical study investigates the outcomes of bone-patellar tendon-bone and quasi-anatomical meniscus allograft transplantation techniques in patients requiring joint reconstruction. The study aims to assess the safety, efficacy, and functional improvements following these transplant procedures, utilizing donor tissues to restore joint function and alleviate pain in individuals with severe knee damage. Participants will undergo the transplantation procedure and be monitored for post-operative recovery, complications, and long-term outcomes, including joint stability and mobility. The study seeks to provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of these advanced surgical techniques for knee joint repair.
