Brief Summary

The main hypothesis of the study is that in situ infiltration of the meniscal lesion would provide patients with lasting and greater relief than intra-articular infiltration. A statistically significant difference would be if the Lysholm score of the meniscal wall group at 3 months is 9.5 points higher than that of the intra-articular infiltration group. The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of meniscal wall infiltration under ultrasound in the treatment of stable degenerative meniscal lesions versus intra-articular infiltration (Gold standard) at 3 months by Lysholm's algo-functional score.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with a symptomatic meniscal lesion of a degenerative nature, isolated or associated with early osteoarthritis or chondropathy (Ahlbach stages 1 and 2). * Indication for peri-meniscal infiltration under ultrasound control of the knee for a clinically stable degenerative meniscal lesion confirmed by MRI and radiography. * Patient who has given free and informed consent. * Patient who has signed the consent form. * Patient affiliated or beneficiary of a health insurance plan. * Adult patient (≥18 years of age). Exclusion Criteria: * No iconographic evidence of meniscal injury. * Associated lesions of the central pivot of the knee. * Knee pain of osteoarthritic origin strongly suggested by the clinic associated with an advanced radiological stage of osteoarthritis (Ahlbach stages 3 and 4). * Presence of a skin lesion at the infiltration sites. * Suspected soft tissue or joint infection. * Patient participating in research involving human subjects defined as C
