Meniscal tears, especially lateral ones, require careful consideration beyond simple meniscectomy. Early MRI diagnosis and repair are crucial for preserving knee function and cartilage health, with promising results for meniscal repair and allografts.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Knee Biomechanics

Background:

  • Lateral meniscectomy carries a higher risk of joint space narrowing compared to medial meniscectomy.
  • The lateral meniscus plays a critical role in knee joint congruence and stability.

Framework:

  • Meniscal repair is indicated for peripheral longitudinal tears and horizontal cleavages in junior athletes.
  • Meniscoplasty is preferred for complete tears of discoid menisci.
  • Arthroscopic meniscectomy is reserved for symptomatic avascular zones or complex tears.

Implementation:

  • Preoperative MRI is essential for diagnosing meniscal lesions and assessing reparability.
  • Meniscal repair, particularly when associated with ACL reconstruction, shows good functional and anatomical outcomes.

  • Postoperative management includes protection and restricted activity to ensure healing.

    • Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, including meniscal repair or allograft transplantation, can prevent long-term complications like osteoarthritis.
    • Lateral meniscectomy should be conservative, prioritizing meniscal preservation.
    • Further research into meniscal allografts offers a promising alternative for specific patient groups.
