Dynamic contact mechanics of the medial meniscus as a function of radial tear, repair, and partial meniscectomy.
BACKGROUND The menisci are integral to normal knee function. The purpose of this study was to measure the contact pressures transmitted to the medial tibial plateau under physiological loads as a function of the percentage of the meniscus involved by the radial tear or repair. Our hypotheses were that (1) there is a threshold size of radial tears above which contact mechanics are adversely affe...
متن کاملtransplantation and repair of meniscus instead of meniscectomy
the basis of this paper has been planned on the functions of the meniscus and its effects. i.e. the existence of meniscus will prevent arthritis in other word torn-off (wholly meniscus and/or partly) will lead to suffering from arthritis. in view of the above, it is reasonable that attempt will be made to amend the torn meniscus instead of the surgical removal (meniscectom). the amendment may b...
متن کاملArthroscopic partial meniscectomy for degenerative meniscal tear.
To the Editor: Previous studies have suggested that partial meniscectomy has little benefit in patients with advanced osteoarthritis1,2 but some benefit in those with mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis.3 Sihvonen and colleagues (Dec. 26 issue)4 attempted to assess the benefit of partial meniscectomy in patients without osteoarthritis. However, although the authors excluded patients with radiograph...
متن کاملCross-sectional analysis of trends in meniscectomy and meniscus repair.
Knee arthroscopy to address meniscus tears is among the most common orthopedic procedures performed, and technical advances in the treatment of meniscus tears have affected the treatment options available to orthopedic surgeons. The purpose of this study was to perform a large cross-sectional analysis of orthopedic patients to investigate trends in arthroscopic meniscectomy and meniscus repair ...
متن کاملClinical outcome of meniscus repair for isolated meniscus tear in athletes
Objective To examine the clinical and functional outcomes for a series of patients who underwent meniscal repair for isolated meniscal tears focusing the study population on athletes. Methods This study represents a case series of 46 athletes who underwent repair of isolated meniscal lesions of the knee from 2010 to 2015. Cases of discoid meniscal lesions and combined ligament injuries were e...
