Ten rabbits had a medial meniscectomy in both knees. The articular surface was studied with a scanning electron microscope 2, 4 or 12 weeks after the operation. Three sham operated and two unoperated rabbits served as controls. Progressive articular cartilage damage was observed on the weight-bearing areas of the medial condyles. The findings are compatible with clinical observations after meniscectomy; they confirm that meniscectomy is not a harmless operation.Downloads
