Background: Meniscal tear in older adults often accompanies knee osteoarthritis and is commonly treated with arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) when patients have persistent pain after a trial of physical therapy. Cross-sectional evidence suggests that synovitis is associated with baseline pain in this patient population, but little is known about the relationship between synovitis and postoperative recovery or progression of knee osteoarthritis. Purpose/Hypothesis: Intra-articular extended-release triamcinolone may reduce inflammation and thereby improve outcomes and slow disease progression. This article presents the rationale behind the Corticosteroid Meniscectomy Trial (CoMeT) and describes its study design and implementation strategies. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: CoMeT is a 2-arm, 3-center, randomized placebo-controlled trial designed to establish the clinical efficacy of extended-release triamcinolone administered via intra-articular injection immediately after APM. The primary outcome is change in Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Pain subscore at 3-month follow-up. Synovial biopsy, joint fluid aspirate, and urine and blood sample analyses will examine the associations between various objective measures of baseline inflammation and pre- and postoperative outcome measures and clinical responses to triamcinolone intervention. Quantitative 3-T magnetic resonance imaging will evaluate cartilage and meniscal composition and 3-dimensional bone shape to detect early joint degeneration. Results: We discuss methodologic innovations and challenges. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first randomized double-blind clinical trial that will analyze the effect of extended-release triamcinolone acetonide on pain, magnetic resonance imaging measures of structural change and effusion/synovitis, soluble biomarkers, and synovial tissue transcriptomics after APM.
