The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical outcome, we performed a retro-spective review of 35 lateral meniscal cysts that were treated arthroscopically at our institution which was a retrospective study. From a series of 1000 knee arthroscopies, 41 patients who had lateral meniscal cysts were selected. 2 of the 35 patients were lost to follow-up and 4 patients had associated other path...

INTRODUCTION Discoid meniscus is a well-documented knee pathology, and there are many cases of medial or lateral discoid meniscus reported in the literature. However, ipsilateral concurrent medial and lateral discoid meniscus is very rare, and only a few cases have been reported. Herein, we report a case of concurrent medial and lateral discoid meniscus. CASE REPORT A 27-year-old Japanese man...

BACKGROUND The indications and criteria for meniscal repair are expanding in parallel with new understanding in biomechanics, joint pathophysiology, and increased physician education. PURPOSE To describe the practice patterns of arthroscopic meniscal treatment in recent years, compare the trends of arthroscopic meniscal repair versus arthroscopic meniscectomy, and compare sports fellowship-tr...

In an open prospective study the results of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy were reviewed in 188 knees. Group I comprised of 139 (65%) knees with pure meniscus lesions without any ligament laxity, the remaining 49 (35%) knees in group II had anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency in addition to meniscus lesions. In group I, 93% had excellent to good and 7% had fair results by criteria of...

Historically, patient perceptions of surgeon reimbursement have been exaggerated compared with actual reimbursement. There is limited information about patient perceptions of physician reimbursement for arthroscopic meniscectomy and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. This study evaluated patient perceptions of physician reimbursement for these procedures and compared perceptions o...

The incidence of meniscal tear injuries is rising, predominately due to the sporting activities young adults. There are different methods in orthopedics management. An Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy (APM) most practiced orthopedic procedure globally. However, recent literature reported serious concerns about its positive outcome. Meniscal repair another recommended technique and growing rapi...

Objectives: Meniscal tears are one of the most common knee conditions treated by orthopaedic surgeons. Patients who do not respond to conservative management often offered arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM). Clinical care these patients could be enhanced a scoring system that uses preoperative factors predict likelihood pain relief following APM. The purpose this study is create an index s...

A patient suffered a complete popliteal artery injury one month after a partial arthroscopic meniscectomy. The patient complained of progressive and severe distal pain. A complete lesion of the popliteal artery was found. Distal vascular flow was barely supported by two geniculate arteries. Vascular repair was performed using open vascular surgery. Although the popliteal neurovascular bundle is...
