Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Knee Arthroscopy

Background:

  • Meniscal tears are common knee injuries.
  • Arthroscopic repair aims to preserve meniscal function.
  • T-fix is a device used for meniscal repair.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and reliability of arthroscopic meniscal repair using the T-fix device.
  • To present preliminary clinical and arthroscopic outcomes of T-fix meniscal repair.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective evaluation of 47 consecutive patients undergoing arthroscopic meniscal repair with T-fix.
  • Mean follow-up of 26 months.
  • Modified Marshall scoring system for clinical assessment and Henning's criteria for healing assessment via second-look arthroscopy.

Main Results:

  • Overall, 42 out of 47 patients had good to excellent results.
  • Second-look arthroscopy in 18 patients showed healing in 15.
  • No neurovascular complications were reported.

Conclusions:

  • Arthroscopic meniscal repair with T-fix is a successful and reliable procedure.
  • The technique facilitates meniscal healing and satisfactory functional outcomes.
  • Preservation and repair of menisci should be considered in appropriate cases.
