ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To analyze and report the analyzed clinical results of meniscal repair. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Thirty-two cases were reviewed after arthroscopic meniscal repair. The meniscal repair was indicated by unstable tears in red-red or red-white zone with the tear size longer than 10mm. The location, pattern of the tear and associated injury were examined respectively, and the clinical results were evaluated with preoperative, postoperative Lysholm score and findings of physical examination. Physical examination was focused on tenderness, click, effusion and McMurray test. Also, a second look arthroscopy was performed in the case of bucket-handle tears and other types with recurring symptoms and positive physical findings.RESULTS:
The number of medial meniscus tear was higher than lateral meniscus tear and the were no considerable differences in the number between the right and the left knees. The most common location of tear was the red-red zone tear in 30 cases, and the most common tear pattern was longitudinal tear in 22 cases. The number of bucket-handle tear was nine. The most common associated injury was ACL injury. Acording to clinical assessment, 29 out of 32 cases showed satisfactory results, and the results of 7 out of 9 bucket-handle tears were good.CONCLUSION:
An analysis of the clinical results of meniscal repair has been carried out, showing that meniscal repair is regarded as a reliable treatment modality in meniscal tear with proper patient selection.
