Relationships between smoking, high BMI and the results of arthroscopic treatment of isolated medial meniscus tear – a cross-sectional study
In this study, we found no evidence of an association between smoking and functional outcomes following arthroscopic medial meniscus tear treatment. Moreover, patients' postoperative functional outcomes with growing BMI are deteriorated, and additionally BMI values were increasing with age.
