Arthroscopic meniscus repair is now preferred for many meniscal tears, especially in young patients. Successful outcomes depend on careful patient selection, surgical skill, and proper rehabilitation.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Knee Arthroscopy

Background:

  • Arthroscopic meniscus repair has gained prominence over meniscectomy for specific meniscal lesions.
  • Evidence supports repair for healable tears, particularly in younger demographics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current indications and techniques for arthroscopic meniscus repair.
  • To highlight factors critical for successful meniscus repair outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of biomechanical and clinical evidence supporting meniscus repair versus partial meniscectomy.
  • Discussion of surgical techniques, necessary instrumentation, and patient selection criteria.

Main Results:

  • Meniscus repair is indicated for healable tears, offering better outcomes in adolescents and young adults.

  • Partial meniscectomy remains suitable for irreparable tears.

    • Conclusions:

    • Arthroscopic meniscus repair is the treatment of choice for selected meniscal tears.
    • Successful repair necessitates skilled arthroscopic technique, appropriate tear selection, and comprehensive postoperative rehabilitation.
