    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Sports medicine
    • Rehabilitation

    Background:

    • Meniscectomy is a common surgical procedure.
    • Traditional postoperative care involves prolonged hospitalization and limited mobility.
    • Optimizing recovery protocols is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the efficacy of a novel postoperative management strategy with the traditional method after meniscectomy.
    • To evaluate patient comfort, hospital stay duration, and functional recovery.

    Main Methods:

    • Eighty patients undergoing meniscectomy were randomized into two groups.
    • Group 1: Traditional care (compression bandage, backsplint, 10-day hospital stay).
    • Group 2: Novel care (compression bandage with plaster cylinder, early weight-bearing with crutches, 4-day hospital stay).

    Main Results:

    • The novel approach using a plaster cylinder allowed for early ambulation and weight-bearing.
    • Patients in the novel care group experienced greater convenience and comfort.
    • Hospital stay was significantly reduced (4 days vs. 10 days) with no increase in complications.
    • Physiotherapy duration decreased, facilitating an earlier return to work and normal activities.

    Conclusions:

    • A plaster cylinder combined with early ambulation provides a more convenient and comfortable postoperative management for meniscectomy patients.
    • This enhanced recovery protocol leads to shorter hospitalizations and quicker resumption of daily life.
    • The findings support the adoption of this improved rehabilitation strategy in clinical practice.
