      abstract = {The efficacy of partial meniscectomies in patients with  osteoarthritis is currently debated. The purpose of this  study is to determine the effectiveness of a novel physical  exam maneuver, the Portland Pivot Kick (PPK), in predicting  the potential benefit of arthroscopic partial medial  meniscectomy in treating mechanical symptoms, even in the  presence of osteoarthritis. We theorize that  differentiating mechanical symptoms from degenerative joint  disease in medial meniscus tears can be a prognosticator of  improvement following surgical intervention. We hypothesize  that patients with a positive preoperative PPK will have  improvement of mechanical symptoms and subjective outcomes  scores following arthroscopic partial medial meniscectomy.},
