    Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy significantly reduces recovery time and improves return to work and sport compared to open surgery. Arthroscopic removal of bucket-handle meniscal tears yields superior outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Sports Medicine
    • Knee Arthroscopy

    Background:

    • Meniscectomy is a common surgical procedure for meniscal tears.
    • Different surgical techniques (open vs. arthroscopic) and experience levels exist.
    • Outcomes can vary based on meniscal tear type and surgical approach.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the outcomes of open versus arthroscopic partial or total meniscectomy.
    • To evaluate the impact of surgeon experience on meniscectomy results.
    • To analyze the effectiveness of different meniscal tear repair techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 230 patients undergoing partial or total meniscectomy.
    • Comparison of open and arthroscopic surgical approaches.

  • Follow-up assessment at an average of 34 months post-surgery.

    • Main Results:

    • Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy led to shorter inpatient stays and earlier return to work and sport.
    • Arthroscopic "bucket-handle" tear removal showed better outcomes than open techniques.
    • Lateral meniscectomy procedures yielded comparatively poorer results.

    Conclusions:

    • Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy is a more efficient surgical option, particularly for bucket-handle tears.
    • Surgical approach and tear type significantly influence patient recovery and outcomes.
    • Further investigation into lateral meniscectomy outcomes may be warranted.
