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

	pKAA
Group Comparison*	Difference (95% CI)†	Cohen D Value	P Value
Partial vs. repair	1.8° (−2.0° to 5.6°)	0.40	0.334
Partial vs. none	2.4° (0.1° to 4.7°)	0.70	0.041‡
Repair vs. none	−0.6° (−2.9° to 1.6°)	0.18	0.582

^*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 angle (pKAA) compared with the second group; negative values indicate lesser relative pKAA, or more abduction.

^‡Significant (p < 0.05).
