Arthroscopic 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 کاملPatients with low suspicion for a meniscal tear or with degenerative meniscal tears
Background In primary care, meniscal tears are difficult to detect. A quick and easy clinical prediction rule based on patient history and a single meniscal test may help physicians to identify high-risk patients for referral for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Aim The study objective was to develop and internally validate a clinical prediction rule (CPR) for the detection of meniscal tears i...
متن کاملArthroscopic partial meniscectomy versus sham surgery for a degenerative meniscal tear.
BACKGROUND Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy is one of the most common orthopedic procedures, yet rigorous evidence of its efficacy is lacking. METHODS We conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial in 146 patients 35 to 65 years of age who had knee symptoms consistent with a degenerative medial meniscus tear and no knee osteoarthritis. Patients were randomly assi...
متن کاملMeniscal tear - presentation, diagnosis and management.
BACKGROUND Medial and lateral knee joint menisci serve to transfer load and absorb shock, aid joint stability and provide lubrication. The meniscus is the most commonly injured structure in the knee joint. Imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging may be warranted but are no substitute for thorough clinical history and examination. OBJECTIVE This article outlines the aetiology, pr...
متن کاملMeniscal tear--a feature of osteoarthritis.
Meniscectomy is recognized as an important risk factor for the development of knee osteoarthritis (OA), a disease that traditionally has been considered as a simple "wear and tear" phenomenon. However, despite numerous reports, little evidence has been presented that a limited meniscal resection, compared with a more extensive resection, reduces the risk of OA by preserving meniscal function. W...
