Summary

All-inside meniscus repair devices show similar failure rates, regardless of type or follow-up duration. More randomized controlled studies are needed to compare clinical outcomes of these popular surgical interventions for meniscal tears.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • All-inside meniscus repair techniques are increasingly utilized for treating meniscal tears.
  • Various devices like arrows, darts, screws, and staples facilitate these all-inside repairs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct an evidence-based review assessing the effectiveness of different all-inside meniscus repair devices.
  • To analyze failure rates and clinical outcomes associated with these surgical interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of existing literature on all-inside meniscus repair devices.
  • Analysis of study designs, including case series, retrospective, prospective comparative, and randomized studies.
  • Evaluation of reported failure rates and follow-up durations across different devices.

Main Results:

  • The majority of studies reviewed were case series (77%).
  • Failure rates for all-inside meniscus repair devices ranged widely from 0% to 43.5%.
  • No significant differences in failure rates were observed among various devices or with varying follow-up lengths.

Conclusions:

  • Current evidence suggests comparable failure rates among different all-inside meniscus repair devices.
  • The paucity of high-quality randomized controlled trials limits definitive conclusions on comparative clinical outcomes.
  • Further research with robust study designs is necessary to guide optimal device selection for meniscal tear treatment.
