Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy for Painful Degenerative Meniscal Tears in the Presence of Knee Osteoarthritis in Patients Older than 50 Years of Age: Predictors of an Early (1 to 5 Years) Total Knee Replacement
Background: The role of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) for painful degenerative meniscal tears (PDMT) is currently controversial. To define the rate of early (1 to 5 years) conversion to total knee replacement (TKR) and their predictors after APM for PDMT in patients with knee osteoarthritis and more than 50 years of age. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of patients more than...
متن کاملMeniscal Roots: Current Concepts Review
Meniscal root tears are defined as radial tears located within 1 cm from the meniscal attachment or a bony rootavulsion. This injury is biomechanically comparable to a total meniscectomy, leading to compromised hoop stressesresulting in decreased tibiofemoral contact area and increased contact pressures in the involved compartment.These changes are detrimental to the articular cartilage and ult...
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 کاملCysts of the medial meniscus. Arthroscopic diagnosis and management.
We report the clinical and arthroscopic findings in 20 cases of medial meniscal cyst with a mean follow-up of 20 months. These were studied prospectively from a series of 7435 knee arthroscopies in which there were 1246 stable non-arthritic knees with medial meniscal tears. The diagnosis on referral was incorrect in seven, and incomplete in seven. There was coexistent meniscal injury in 17 (85%...

INTRODUCTION This review defines the recognized risk factors responsible for the development of knee osteoarthritis after surgical management of meniscal tears. SOURCES OF DATA We performed a literature search using Medline, Ovid, Cochrane and Google Scholar using the keywords: 'Meniscal tears', 'meniscectomy', 'osteoarthritis', 'complications' and 'risk factors'. Thirty-two published studies...
