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. 000008348 540__ $$fCC BY 000008348 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000008348 650__ $$aOsteoarthritis, Knee$$032359 000008348 650__ $$aKnee$$021229 000008348 650__ $$aMeniscectomy$$012340 000008348 6531_ $$amechanical symptoms 000008348 6531_ $$aportland pivot kick 000008348 6531_ $$aorthopaedic surgery 000008348 6531_ $$asurgical outcomes 000008348 6531_ $$amedical meniscus 000008348 6531_ $$adegenerative joint disease 000008348 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008348 692__ $$aDepartment of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation$$041436 000008348 7001_ $$aWalker, Jorge$$uOHSU & VA Portland Health Care System$$041347 000008348 7001_ $$aMoulton, Samuel G.$$uOHSU & VA Portland Health Care System$$041347 000008348 7001_ $$aGundle, Kenneth$$uOHSU & VA Portland Health Care System$$041347 000008348 7001_ $$aBerkson, Mark$$uOHSU & VA Portland Health Care System$$041347 000008348 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2020 000008348 8564_ $$90b141fe4-2d5f-4341-9504-0cf67e9dabbb$$s46767$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8348/files/ResearchWeek.2020.Walker.Jorge.pdf 000008348 905__ $$a/rest/prod/7s/75/dd/03/7s75dd03m 000008348 980__ $$aResearch Week
