Group Comparisons of Interlimb Differences (Surgical Minus Contralateral Limb) for Peak Knee Adduction Moment

	pKAM
Group Comparison*	Difference (95% CI)† (N-m/kg-m)	Cohen D Value	P Value
Partial vs. repair	0.10 (0.02 to 0.18)	1.03	0.020‡
Partial vs. none	0.06 (0.00 to 0.13)	0.71	0.037‡
Repair vs. none	−0.03 (−0.09 to 0.02)	0.38	0.262

^*Partial = partial medial meniscectomy, repair = medial meniscal repair, and none = no medial meniscal surgery.

^†CI = confidence interval. Positive values indicate that the group listed first walked with greater surgical versus contralateral limb peak knee adduction moment (pKAM) compared with the second group; negative values indicate lesser relative pKAM.

^‡Significant (p < 0.05).
