Podium Presentation Title: Isolated Medial Meniscus Repairs are at Higher Risk of Failure Compared to Lateral Meniscus Tears

To evaluate clinical and functional results of isolated repairs meniscal tears with intact cruciate ligaments. The hypothesis was that medial were associated higher failure rate than lateral meniscus repairs. A retrospective analysis prospectively collected data performed on patients who underwent primary repair in a stable knee between 2008 2018 minimum follow-up 2 years. At the final follow-up, recurrent tear, reoperations patient-reported outcomes determined including return to sports, Tegner activity scale, Lysholm score, Western Ontario Meniscal Evaluation Tool (WOMET) International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective evaluation form injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) score.
