Arthroscopic double partial meniscectomy offers good outcomes for combined medial and lateral meniscus lesions. Most patients reported satisfaction, indicating its effectiveness as a surgical option.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Knee Arthroscopy

Background:

  • Arthroscopic treatment for meniscal pathology is a common surgical procedure.
  • Combined lesions of the medial and lateral menisci present a complex clinical challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of arthroscopic double partial meniscectomy for combined meniscal lesions.
  • To assess patient satisfaction and functional recovery following the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 71 patients with combined medial and lateral meniscal lesions underwent arthroscopic surgery.
  • Patients were assessed using the Tapper and Hoover score post-operatively.
  • Exclusion criteria included instabilities, grade IV chondral lesions, rheumatoid arthritis, and prior surgery.

Main Results:

  • Out of 55 evaluated patients, 31% reported excellent results and 51% reported good results.
  • Fair results were observed in 15% of patients, primarily due to mild instability or functional loss.
  • Overall, 89% of patients were satisfied with the arthroscopic double partial meniscectomy procedure.

Conclusions:

  • Arthroscopic double partial meniscectomy is an effective treatment for combined meniscal lesions, yielding favorable outcomes.
  • The majority of patients express satisfaction with the procedure and would opt for it again.
