Our department recently held an engaging clinical session featuring a presentation by Dr. Haider Hashim titled, Degenerative Meniscal Tear: To Scope or Not to Scope?
As a tertiary center that prioritizes evidence-based practice, this meeting focused on the critical decision-making process between conservative management and arthroscopic intervention for degenerative knee pathologies. Dr. Hashim’s talk stimulated an in-depth discussion on current global guidelines, patient selection criteria, and the long-term outcomes of meniscal surgery in the aging knee. These academic gatherings ensure our surgical team remains at the forefront of orthopedic science, providing our patients with the most effective and personalized treatment plans available.

Key Focus Areas of the Meeting

• Reviewing the latest clinical trials comparing arthroscopic partial meniscectomy to non-operative physical therapy.
• Discussing how the preservation of meniscal tissue plays a vital role in delaying the progression of knee osteoarthritis.
• Shared reviews of department cases where arthroscopic outcomes were measured against conservative recovery paths.
