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.
