Satisfactory outcomes have been reported after all-inside meniscus ramp repair with combined anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). […]
There is significant discrepancy in the reported vascularity within the meniscus, and a progressively diminishing blood supply may indicate a differential healing capacity of tears that is dependent on the affected meniscal zone.
To examine the outcomes after inside-out meniscal repair in all 3 meniscal vascularity zones.
Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.
Patients were included […]
The meniscus was once considered a functionless remnant of muscle that should be removed in its entirety at any sign of abnormality. Its role in load distribution, knee stability, and arthritis prevention has since been well established. The medial and lateral menisci are now considered vital structures in the […]
Meniscal repair procedures are increasingly performed because of an enhanced understanding of the long-term deleterious consequences of meniscectomy, the benefits of meniscal preservation, and the improved techniques and devices available for meniscal repair. While meniscal repair has demonstrated a higher reoperation rate than meniscectomy, recent studies have reported […]
