ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: There has been a significant increase in the use of conservative treatment for meniscal lesions due to raised awareness around the need for meniscal preservation. However, sutures of the medial meniscus (MM) in stable knees remain less frequently used. The objective of this study was to, firstly, identify the MM suture rate over one year of activity; secondly, to identify and compare the distribution of MM sutures in stable, and stabilized, knees on this prospective series; and thirdly, to compare the evolution of practices with a retrospective series of more than 5 years follow-up. HYPOTHESIS: The number of MM sutures in stable knees represents a small percentage of annual arthroscopic activity. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This multicenter study was carried out in 10 reference centers participating in the 2022 symposium of the Francophone Society of Arthroscopy (Bordeaux, Caen, Lille, Lille Louvière, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, Saint-Étienne, Strasbourg, Versailles). This study included a prospective series on interventions performed under arthroscopy during one year of activity. The inclusion criteria were patients operated on via an arthroscopic technique and aged over 18 at the time of the operation. Demographic data, as well as the circumstances leading to the injury, were collected. A register of the lesions found was established in order to list the lesions of the MM, the lateral meniscus (LM), the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the associated chondral lesions; as well as the treatment performed: meniscal suture of the MM and/or LM, meniscectomy of the MM and/or LM and ligamentoplasty of the ACL. This study also included a retrospective series comprised of only MM sutures in stable knees at more than 5 years of follow-up. RESULTS: Of the 4154 patients included, 1919 patients (46.2%) underwent surgery for ACL reconstruction and 2235 for arthroscopy without associated ligament surgery. MM sutures (in stable knees and in knees with ACL reconstruction) represented 14% of the overall arthroscopic activity (583 MM sutures) versus 8.6% for LM (360 sutures). In cases of ACL surgery, there were 895 associated meniscal lesions (337 LM and 558 MM) and 66% of MM tears (371 MM sutures) were sutured. In stable knees, MM tears were weaker (212 MM sutures out of 1359 lesions, i.e. 15%). Of all the arthroscopic procedures performed over the course of a year, MM suturing in stable knees represented 5.1% of the activity. Compared to the retrospective series (n=367), the patients were older (37 years versus 28 years) and the management of ramp lesions or root tears was noted. In both series, these tears were related to sports trauma in more than 70% of cases. CONCLUSION: MM suturing in stable knees represents a small part of annual arthroscopic activity and it occurs less frequently than during ACL reconstruction surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The menisci play a major role in the protection of the knee against osteoarthritis. A medial meniscus (MM) tear occurring in a stable knee is more at risk of repair failure than a suture concomitant with reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament. HYPOTHESIS: The survival of MM sutures in stable knees depends on the type of lesion. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study was carried out as part of the 2022 Francophone Arthroscopy Society's symposium, across 10 centers (Bordeaux-Mérignac, Caen, Lille, Lille Louvière, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, Saint-Étienne, Strasbourg and Versailles) including medial meniscus sutures in stable knees performed before the end of 2017 (minimum 5 years of follow-up) with a collection of demographic, imaging, suture and postoperative protocol data, and a functional evaluation using the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome score (KOOS). The aim of this study was to analyze the medial meniscus sutures in stable knees and to evaluate their survival and their risk factors for failure according to the type of lesion; failure being defined by the use of a meniscectomy. RESULTS: Three-hundred and sixty-seven MM sutures, including 122 bucket-handle tears, were included. The KOOS score was improved by the meniscal suture by an average of 22.2 points for each sub-score (p<0.05), with an improvement, which was more marked for the bucket-handle tears. The failure rate, defined by revision surgery by meniscectomy, was 33% on average (42% for bucket-handles tears, 26% for others). The probability of survival was reduced for bucket-handle tears (62% at 5 years versus 77% for the other types). For all lesions, the main risk factor identified for failure was immediate weight-bearing [OR=3.6 (1.62; 7.98), p=0.0016]. Smoking was a failure risk factor for bucket-handle tears [OR=5.76 (1.81; 18.35), p=0.003]. CONCLUSION: MM sutures in stable knees improve knee function but present a different risk of failure depending on the type of lesion treated with a higher risk of failure for bucket-handle tears with the need for caution to be applied with regards to weight-bearing and smoking. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV; retrospective series.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: In cases of repeated treatment failure of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) of the knee, above-the-knee amputation (AKA) or knee arthrodesis can be proposed to reduce the risk of recurrent infection, especially in cases with major bone defects or irreparable damage to the extensor mechanism of the knee. Since AKA versus knee arthrodesis results have been rarely assessed for these indications, we conducted a retrospective case-control study to compare both the rates of recurrent infection and functional outcomes. Hypothesis Patients who underwent AKA had fewer recurrent infections than those who had arthrodesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty patients who underwent AKA and 23 patients who had knee arthrodesis, between 2003 and 2019, were retrospectively included in this study. These two groups were comparable in age (73.8 versus 77.7 years (p=.31)) and sex (10 women and 10 men versus 16 women and seven men (p=.19)). Each group was analyzed individually and then compared in terms of survival (recurrent infection) and functional outcomes using clinical assessment scores (visual analog scale (VAS), French neuropathic pain questionnaire (DN4), Parker and Palmer mobility score and the 36-item short-form survey (SF-36)). RESULTS: The rate of recurrent infection was 10% (two out of 20 patients) for the AKA group and 21.75% (five out of 23 patients) for the arthrodesis group (p=.69). The mean follow-up for the AKA group was 4.18 years (1.2-11.8) and 9.7 years (1.1-14.33) for the arthrodesis group (p=.002). The number of previous revisions (three (1.5-4) for AKA and two (2-3) for arthrodesis) and the time between the primary arthroplasty and surgical procedure were significantly greater in the AKA group (48.0 (12.0-102.0) months) than the arthrodesis group (48.0 (24.0-87.0) months) (p<001). The AKA group had significantly better clinical results for VAS (2.7±2.2 vs. 3.1±3.3), DN4 (1.5±2.1 vs. 2.6±2.9), Parker and Palmer (5.2±1.7 vs. 4.6±1.4), and SF-36 (30.9±15.6 vs. 26.9±17.0) (p<001). CONCLUSION: Above-the-knee amputation and knee arthrodesis showed no differences in the rate of recurrent sepsis. However, the comparison of the two groups demonstrated that patients who underwent an AKA had less pain, were more autonomous and had a better quality of life. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III; retrospective case-control.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Femoroacetabular impingement is a frequent cause of hip pain, and can be managed by conservative surgery. Many studies assessed postoperative course, but none compared operative techniques within a given population. We therefore conducted a retrospective case-control study comparing the minimally invasive anterior Hueter approach versus arthroscopy, assessing difference in 1) functional gain and 2) complications and 3) analyzing the impact of labral or cartilage lesions on functional scores. HYPOTHESIS: Clinical results do not differ between the mini-open and arthroscopic approach. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Between 2007 and 2018, 91 hips in 84 patients were treated for femoroacetabular impingement: 69/91 (75.8%) cam effect, 6/91 pincer effect (6.6%) and 16/91 mixed (17.6%). Fifty-five were treated by arthroscopy and 36 by the Hueter mini-open approach. There were 20 female and 71 male hips. Mean age at surgery was 32 years (range, 17-55 years). Potential predictive factors comprised Nötzli alpha angle, labral/cartilage lesion and type of surgery. RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 4.6 years (range, 1-16 years), with no loss to follow-up. The arthroscopy and Hueter groups showed no differences in functional improvement on Oxford-12 score (gain, -6.7±5.9 versus -6.2±8.1 (p=0.73), Postel Merle d'Aubigné (PMA) score (gain, 1.3±1 versus 1.1±0.9; p=0.41), operative time (75 versus 67min; p=0.16), or alpha angle correction (-10.9±12.9 versus -9.8±7.1; p=0.22). Complications did not differ: 1/55 severe complications after arthroscopy (1 definitive femoral nerve palsy) versus 4/36 non-severe complications after Hueter (3 cases of dysesthesia in the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh, 1 rectus femoris enthesopathy) (p=0.15). Labral lesions (37/91) did not affect clinical outcome: gain, 1.2±1 versus 1.3±0.9 on PMA (p=0.514) and -7.3±6 versus -6±7.3 on Oxford-12 (p=0.366). Cartilage lesions (27/91) were associated with poorer outcome on PMA (gain, 1±1.1 versus 1.3±0.9; p=002) but not on Oxford-12 (gain, -6.1±7.3 versus -6.7±6.6; p=0.288). CONCLUSION: Impingement correction by the minimally invasive anterior Hueter approach gave clinical results comparable to those of hip arthroscopy in terms of Oxford and PMA scores, alpha angle correction, operative time and complications. Cartilage lesions were associated with poorer clinical results. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III; retrospective case-control study.
