Results
Of the 48 meniscopathy patients 23 (%47.9) were male and 25 (%52.1) were female,
the mean age was 54±7.2 years.
Of the 42 control patients 20 (%47.6) were male and 22 (%52.4) were female,
the mean age was 52±6.8 years.
There was no statistically significant relationship between patient and control group cases in terms of age and gender (p>0.05).
The mean BMI was 24.5±1.9 in control group and 28,3±2.2 in patient group which is statistically significant (p<0.05).
There is also a positive correlation was present between BMI and mensicopathy.
Of the 48 meniscopathy patients,
17 patients (35.4%) had only medial meniscopathy,
9 patients (18.7%) had only lateral meniscopathy and 22 patients (45.9%) had bilateral meniscopathy.
Although meniscopathy tends to be bilaterally,
there was a statistically significant difference between medial and lateral meniscopathy in obese patients (p<0.05).
