Description
•Tourniquet use in knee arthroscopy has been related to greater loss of muscle mass, especially in the vastus medialis.
•Different works relate vastus medialis hypotrophy as a possible etiology of anterior knee pain.
•Thus, it is possible to think that the use of ischemia tourniquet could cause a higher incidence of patellofemoral pain.
•The aim of this study is to assess whether the use of tourniquet ischemia causes more anterior knee pain compared to its non-use in simple meniscectomies.
