Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Meniscus tears are common orthopedic injuries.
  • Traditional treatments include conservative management or partial meniscectomy.
  • Recent innovations have advanced meniscus tear evaluation and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review long-term outcomes (5-10+ years) of meniscus repair.
  • To highlight modern surgical techniques and their results.
  • To discuss clinical/radiologic outcomes, failure rates, and future directions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on meniscus repair.
  • Analysis of long-term clinical and radiologic data.
  • Evaluation of modern arthroscopic techniques and implants.

Main Results:

  • Meniscus repair is favored over partial meniscectomy for preserving knee function and delaying osteoarthritis.
  • Long-term data supports repair in properly indicated patients.
  • Tear morphology, biologic augmentation, and rehabilitation are active research areas.

Conclusions:

  • Meniscus repair offers superior long-term knee function and longevity compared to partial meniscectomy.
  • Individualized patient selection, surgical technique, and rehabilitation are crucial for success.
  • Further research is needed on tear morphology, biologic augmentation, and rehabilitation protocols.
