Knee meniscus injuries should be treated with meniscus-conserving methods whenever possible. Techniques like meniscal suturing and transplantation offer effective solutions for various knee injuries, preserving joint function.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanical Engineering

Background:

  • The menisci are crucial for knee joint biomechanics.
  • Meniscal injuries necessitate a focus on joint preservation.
  • Current surgical options aim to conserve meniscal tissue.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of meniscus-conserving treatments for knee injuries.
  • To discuss the efficacy of meniscal suturing and transplantation.
  • To explore the role of meniscal allografts in knee reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current surgical techniques for meniscal repair.
  • Analysis of outcomes for meniscal suturing in acute and chronic tears.
  • Evaluation of homologous meniscal transplantation for knee joint restoration.

Main Results:

  • Meniscal suturing is successful in both fresh and old longitudinal tears.
  • Arthroscopic and arthrotomy approaches are viable for meniscal repair.
  • Homologous meniscal transplants can replace the removed medial meniscus.

Conclusions:

  • Meniscus-conserving measures are imperative for knee joint health.
  • Meniscal suturing and transplantation are effective treatment options.
  • Meniscal allografts provide mechanical protection, especially after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
