Relation between tear location and meniscal position of the medial meniscus at baseline adjusted for osteoarthritis and body mass index effects.
| Medial extrusion (mm), Coefficient (SE) | Anterior extrusion (mm), Coefficient (SE) | Proportion of coveragea, % Coefficient (SE) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anterior (n = 5) | −0.031 (0.043) | 0.186 (0.056)* | 0.585 (2.461) |
| Body (n = 17) | 0.089 (0.029)* | 0.077 (0.038)* | −2.066 (1.661) |
| Posterior (n = 33) | 0.031 (0.023) | 0.029 (0.029) | 1.514 (1.299) |
| Mean value in normal menisci (n = 68) | 0.362 | 0.456 | 13.32 |
