ABSTRACT

Surgery failure rates average 20% following bucket-handle meniscal tears (BHMT) repairs in the literature. Achieving the healing of BHMT is difficult, how much more in revision cases. Some authors have reported higher failure rates especially in the early postoperative period and in younger patients. Multiple techniques and augmentations to enhance biologic healing and reduce failure rate have been described. We describe an arthroscopic technique for successfully revising a failed BHMT repair using the technique of percutaneously releasing the posterior fibers of the medial collateral ligament to provide adequate space for arthroscopy, refreshing of the torn surfaces, bed trephination before reduction and repair. We concluded that a combined double-level inside out vertical sutures with horizontal reinforcement and all-inside technique using fast fix give anatomic reduction, stable fixation, surface contact, and increased potential for biologic healing in failed BHMT repairs. Coupled with adequate rehabilitation programs, this technique has reduced the failure rate in revision cases and enhances early return to sport.

ABSTRACT

An active Taenia solium cysticercosis case in Bali, Indonesia, was followed-up by serology and computed tomography. Serology using semi-purified glycoprotein and recombinant antigens showed a drastic drop in titers after calcification of the cysts. Three paraffin-embedded cysts, prepared for histopathological examination, from three other patients were used for mtDNA analysis. The sequences of cox1 gene from T. solium cysticerci from Bali differed from those in Papua and other Asian countries.
