Arthroscopic cystectomy and all-inside suture repair for meniscal cyst / 中国矫形外科杂志

ABSTRACT

[Objective] To investigate all-inside techniques for repairing lateral meniscus anterior horn tear with cysts.[Methods]Nineteen patiants with lateral meniscus anterior horn tear with cysts were collected from August 2006 to May 2008 with 7 males and 12 females.Five cases of isolated memberane cysts and 14 of lateral meniscus anterior horn tear with cysts were analyzed by MRI.Fifteen cases of lateral meniscus anterior horn tear with cysts and 4 of isolated memberanes cysts were finally diagnozed by arthoscopy.The apparatus of shoulder arthoscopy to sutured lateral injuried meniscus anterior horn were used after sheared cysts.Lysholm scores before and after operation were compared.Re-arthoscopy evaluation was performed for 13 patients.[Results]No case had complication after operation during short-term follow-up.Preoperative Lysholm scores was(64?5)points,postoperative scores was(94?7)ponits.Lysholm scores had significance between preoperation and postoperation(P
