Isokinetic torque deficit of the knee extensor muscles after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy

Isokinetic torque deficit of the knee extensor muscles in the operated leg was measured in 21 male patients (mean age 26.4 +/- 1.9 years) who had undergone arthroscopic partial medial meniscectomy. The isokinetic torque testing was performed 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively using the Cybex II dyna...

Description
Summary:Isokinetic torque deficit of the knee extensor muscles in the operated leg was measured in 21 male patients (mean age 26.4 +/- 1.9 years) who had undergone arthroscopic partial medial meniscectomy. The isokinetic torque testing was performed 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively using the Cybex II dynamometer according to standard technique. Isokinetic knee extension peak torque (PT) at angular velocities of 60 degrees and 180 degrees/s was determined in both legs, and the proportional PT deficit in the operated leg was compared with that in the nonoperated leg. A significant (P
