Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Knee Anatomy

Background:

  • Meniscus tears are common knee injuries.
  • Surgical repair aims to restore meniscus function.
  • Understanding repair outcomes is crucial for patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of meniscus repair surgery.
  • To present the rationale and technique for knee meniscus repair.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study design.
  • Involved 50 patients undergoing meniscus repair.
  • Mean follow-up period of 5 years.
  • Arthroscopic examination for assessment.

Main Results:

  • 48 out of 50 patients were symptom-free post-surgery.
  • Arthroscopic examination confirmed satisfactory healing of repaired menisci.

    • Conclusions:

    • Surgical repair of longitudinal, peripheral, and posterior horn meniscus tears is effective.
    • High success rate in achieving symptom relief and meniscus healing.
    • The presented technique and rationale support meniscus repair.
