ABSTRACT Introduction Knee meniscus injury is a common sports injury, and minimally invasive surgery under knee arthroscopy has become an ideal method to treat injuries. This rehabilitation been improved, several studies on the effects of functional exercise in range treatment are still inconclusive. Objective Study patients after injury. Methods Twenty with meniscus-medial being operated were ...

Introduction Meniscus tears are one of the most common indications for arthroscopic surgery, but the limited healing of adult meniscus directs clinical practice towards resection (partial meniscectomy) rather than repair, increasing the risk for early-onset osteoarthritis. As such, methods to augment endogenous repair could promote long-term joint health after injury. Previously, we showed that...

Meniscus injuries, both from athletic activities and activities of daily living, are a common reason of referral for orthopedic evaluation. With an annual incidence of approximately 61 per 100,000 individuals in the general population, meniscus tears are one of the most common injuries to the knee and should often be included at the top of the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with...

BACKGROUND The pattern of lateral meniscus tears observed in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-injured subjects varies greatly and determines subsequent management. Certain tear patterns with major biomechanical consequences should be repaired in a timely manner. Knowledge about risk factors for such tears may help to identify patients in the early posttraumatic phase and subsequently may improv...

oblique tear of the meniscus with an attached fragment displaced away from the donor meniscus (1,2). In order that surgical intervention is appropriate, it is important to visualize the displaced meniscal fragment as well as determine the type of meniscal injury(1,3). Several magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings have been used for the diagnosis of bucket-handle tears: (1) the double poster...

Background:  Parts of the implants placed over the meniscus during meniscal repair can wear down the cartilage in the contact zones and cause chronic synovitis. Placing horizontal sutures under the meniscus may overcome this potential hazard. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the midterm results of arthroscopic meniscal repair using submeniscally placed out-in horizontal sut...

BACKGROUND To explore the association between the rupture of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and the radial displacement of medial meniscus under the conditions of different flexion and various axial loads. METHODS The radial displacement value of medial meniscus was measured for the specimens of normal adult knee joints, including 12 intact PCLs, 6 ruptures of the anterolateral bundle (ALB...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study is evaluation of the validity and reliability of the Persian version of Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) in patients with isolated meniscus injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred people with isolated meniscal injury (29 females and 71 males with a mean age ± standard deviation [SD] = 32.37 ± 9.97 years) and fifty normal people with no kne...
