Objective:
To evaluate clinical effects of posterior root tear of lateral meniscus through bone tunnel suture under arthroscopy.
Methods:
From January 2012 to December 2014, 23 patients with posterior root tear of lateral meniscus repaired through bone tunnel suture under arthroscopy, including 15 males and 8 females, aged from 19 to 48 years old with an average age of (25.0±4.7) years old; 10 knees on the left side and 13 knees on the right side. Complications were observed, Lysholm score before and after operation at 12 months were used to evaluate clinical results, and VAS score was applied to assess pain relief. MRI was used to check recovery outcomes of lateral meniscus injury.
Results:
All patients were followed up from 13 to 24 months with an average of (17.0±4.3) months. No injury of vessels, nerve and incision infection occurred. Motion of knee joint of 19 patients reached normal, 4 patients manifested limited activity of knee joint at12 months after operation. Postoperative Lysholm score 88.52±6.48 at 12 months was higher than that of before operation 46.12±7.35; Postoperative VAS score 0.8±0.7 at 12 months was lower than that of before operation 4.3±1.6.
Conclusions:
Bone tunnel suture under arthroscopy for the treatment of posterior root tear of lateral meniscus could relieve pain, decrease postoperative complications and obtain good clinical efficacy.

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

01:22Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
