The second aim was to build a morphology-based predictive algorithm for response to treatment (RTT) in APMM.<h4>Methods</h4>Two patient groups were identified from a large multicentre database of meniscectomy patients at 2 years of follow-up: the R group included 120 patients with a KOOS pain score > 75, and the MPMS group included 120 patients with a KOOS pain score ≤ 75.
