Fig. 1

Results of the decision tree for the medial meniscus tear. The tear type was associated with medial total/subtotal meniscectomy (χ2 = 70.901, P < 0.001). The strongest risk of total/subtotal meniscectomy was shown for the complex tear (39.9%) followed by the longitudinal (31%) and oblique, horizontal and radial tear (22.2%). The risk of total/subtotal medial meniscectomy was significantly elevated for the complex tear with less than 40 years old (χ2 = 21.028, P < 0.001) and the oblique, horizontal or radial tear accompanied by ACL rupture (χ2 = 6.631, P = 0.01). Besides, the duration of complaint was associated with total/subtotal meniscectomy of the medial longitudinal tear accompanied by ACL rupture (χ2 = 17.741, P = 0.004)
