Arthroscopic meniscal repair evaluated with repeat arthroscopy.

    Summary

    Arthroscopic meniscal repair is a viable treatment for young, active patients with meniscal tears. Most repairs healed successfully, though outcomes were less favorable in knees with anterior cruciate ligament deficiency.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Sports Medicine
    • Arthroscopy

    Background:

    • Meniscal tears are common injuries in active individuals.
    • Arthroscopic techniques offer minimally invasive treatment options.
    • Assessing the efficacy of arthroscopic meniscal repair is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the technical feasibility and healing rates of arthroscopic meniscal repair.
    • To assess the outcomes of meniscal repair in different knee conditions, including anterior cruciate ligament deficiency.

    Main Methods:

    • Arthroscopic evaluation and repair of 29 menisci in 27 patients with displaceable longitudinal tears.
    • Use of absorbable monofilament sutures placed via curved cannulae without arthrotomy.
    • Assessment of repair healing via second-look arthroscopy at 3 months.

    Main Results:

    • Twenty-four out of 29 (83%) meniscal repairs healed completely.
    • Five repairs (17%) showed partial healing (30-50%).
    • Four of the five failed repairs were in knees with anterior cruciate ligament deficiency and instability.

    Conclusions:

    • Arthroscopic meniscal repair is technically feasible and effective for many meniscal tears.
    • Knee instability, particularly in anterior cruciate ligament-deficient knees, may negatively impact repair success.
    • Further research into managing meniscal tears in conjunction with ligamentous instability is warranted.
