Treatment of meniscal tears: An evidence based approach

Treatment options for meniscal tears fall into three broad categories; non-operative, meniscectomy or meniscal repair. Selecting the most appropriate treatment for a given patient involves both patient factors (e.g., age, co-morbidities and compliance) and tear characteristics (e.g., location of tear/age/reducibility of tear). There is evidence suggesting that degenerative tears in older patients without mechanical symptoms can be effectively treated non-operatively with a structured physical therapy programme as a first line. Even if these patients later require meniscectomy they will still achieve similar functional outcomes than if they had initially been treated surgically. Partial meniscectomy is suitable for symptomatic tears not amenable to repair, and can still preserve meniscal function especially when the peripheral meniscal rim is intact. Meniscal repair shows 80% success at 2 years and is more suitable in younger patients with reducible tears that are peripheral (e.g., nearer the capsular attachment) and horizontal or longitudinal in nature. However, careful patient selection and repair technique is required with good compliance to post-operative rehabilitation, which often consists of bracing and non-weight bearing for 4-6 wk.

Trephination and suturing of avascular meniscal tears: A clinical study of the trephination procedure

On the basis of animal studies, an arthroscopic surgical system and procedure of trephination plus suturing were designed for clinical practice. The system consists of a trephine with a tooth-like tip, a guide, and an ordinary arthroscopic power handle. The guide introduces the trephine to the tear without abrading articular cartilage and controls the depth of the trephination. The power handle connected to a suction system provides an inside-out cut core of meniscal tissue. Thirty-six patients with meniscal tears underwent arthroscopic trephination plus suturing (group TS) and 28 patients had suturing alone (group S). The follow-up was 25 to 78 months. Two symptomatic retears have occurred in group TS and 7 symptomatic retears in group S. The symptomatic retear rate of group TS was significantly smaller than group S (P < .01). It is indicated that the patients treated with trephination have fewer symptoms and lower clinical failure rate. Arthroscopic trephination is a safe and easy procedure.     

Accelerated rehabilitation after arthroscopic meniscal repair: A clinical and magnetic resonance imaging evaluation

Twenty-two patients who underwent meniscal repair using the outside-in technique combined with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction were submitted to an accelerated rehabilitation protocol that included immediate full range of motion and weightbearing. The patients were reviewed postoperatively by means of clinical assessment and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after an average of 28 months. Clinical evaluation was performed according to the International Knee Documentation Committee form, and sagittal knee laxity was measured with a KT-2000 arthrometer (MedMetric Corp, San Diego, CA). The MRI scans were obtained using a 0.2-T high-resolution MRI unit dedicated to the study of limbs, and the meniscal signal was graded according to a modified Crues classification. Overall, 77.3% of patients reported clinically good results. Loss of extension of <5° was detected in only 2 patients (9.1%). Three out of 22 patients showed clinical signs of meniscal retear. One of these patients had a second operation for a bucket-handle tear. The presence of a full-thickness rim at MRI evaluation, present in 10 patients (45.5%), did not correlate with the presence of clinical symptoms of retear. Instead, the 3 symptomatic patients presented a complete rim with a gap>1 mm between the meniscal wall and the fragment of the posterior horn. This finding is believed to be a more reliable indicator for retear following meniscal repair. The low failure rate in this series suggests that an aggressive rehabilitation regimen may be prescribed without deleterious effects in subjects undergoing ACL reconstruction and concomitant meniscus repair.     

Two to nineteen years follow-up of arthroscopic meniscal repair using the outside-in technique: a retrospective study

PURPOSE: To perform a long-term follow-up evaluation of the outside-in technique of arthroscopic meniscal repair. TYPE OF STUDY: Retrospective study. METHODS: Between the years 1986 and 2002, 93 cases of arthroscopic meniscal repair using the outside-in technique have been operated by the senior author (F.L.). Forty-one patients were available for the follow-up evaluation with a mean follow-up of 11.71 years. The International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), the modified Lysholm score, the SF-36 (short form 36) health survey score, a visual analogue scale (VAS) for assessment of patients' satisfaction and another VAS for assessment of patients' pain were used retrospectively to evaluate the patients. We also used the Kellgren and Lawrence (K/L) classification of osteoarthritis to evaluate the preoperative X-rays and the X-rays done at the time of the follow-up evaluation. Failure was defined as having a meniscectomy procedure post-operatively. Results: From the 93 patients, 52 could not be retrieved for the follow-up evaluation, while 41 were available for it; 36 patients were clinically successful and 5 were considered as failure. Thirty-six patients were classified as grade "A" in the objective IKDC score, mean modified Lysholm score was 87.29 (SD 16.43), while mean SF-36 score was 85.73 (SD 14.17). The results of the VAS for operation satisfaction ranging from -10 to +10 revealed that the mean of the answers was 8.05 (SD 2.99). The results of the VAS for pain ranging from 0 to 10 revealed that the mean of the patients' pain at the time of the follow-up evaluation was 1.8 (SD 2.42). Twenty out of 24 (only 24 preoperative X-rays were available) were classified as having no osteoarthritis pre-operatively, whereas only 12 out of the 41 patients were classified as having no osteoarthritis (normal) at the time of the follow-up evaluation according to the K/L classification which indicates progression of osteoarthritis. No complications related to the outside-in arthroscopic meniscal repair procedure were reported. CONCLUSION: We conclude that arthroscopic meniscal repair using the outside-in technique is a safe surgical procedure with a good clinical outcome.

Comparison of different operation techniques and suture materials in pyloric exclusion,in an animal model

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to compare the results of different operating techniques and suture materials for pyloric exclusion procedures. METHODS: The study was conducted on a sample of 125 rats. Transgastric pyloric exclusions with gastrojejunostomy were performed on the first 50 rats, which were divided into two groups each of 25: a resorbable (polyglactin) suture material was used in the first group and a nonresorbable (silk) material was used in the second group. External pyloric exclusion with a gastrojejunostomy were performed in a subsequent group consisting of 50 rats, again divided into two subgroups of 25 each with an absorbable (polyglactin) suture material used in one and a nonabsorbable (silk) material used in the other. For the last 25 rats external pyloric exclusion with a gastrojejunostomy were performed and a nonresorbable (polypropylene) material was used. RESULTS: The ratio of pyloric reopening was higher in the transgastric group than the external exclusion group on the 14th day (P = 0.01). The external pyloric exclusion group with polypropylene suture material had the lowest ratio of pyloric reopening. CONCLUSION: The external pyloric exclusion technique with nonresorbable (preferably polypropylene) suture material was therefore found to provide a higher pyloric closure incidence on the 14th day, which is the necessary duration period for healing in duodenal injuries.     

Arthroscopic suture anchor repair of posterior root attachment injury in medial meniscus: technical note

A root attachment injury (root tear) of the meniscus can abolish the ability of the meniscus to bear hoop stress and predispose to increase articular contact stress which contribute to femorotibial degenerative changes. A pull out suture technique to repair the root tear has been described, but the procedure making the tibial tunnel may be difficult and troublesome. This article describes a repair technique using a suture anchor and posterior trans-septal portal.     

Meniscus repair with simultaneous anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: Clinical outcomes,failure rates and subsequent processing

PurposeTo retrospectively analyze the clinical outcomes of meniscus repair with simultaneous anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and explore the causes of failure of meniscus repair.MethodsFrom May 2013 to July 2018, the clinical data of 165 patients who were treated with meniscus surgery and simultaneous ACL reconstruction, including 69 cases of meniscus repair (repair group) and 96 cases of partial meniscectomy (partial meniscectomy group) were retrospectively analyzed. The exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) ACL rupture associated with fracture, collateral ligament injury, or complex ligament injury; (2) a history of knee surgery; or (3) a significant degree of osteoarthritis. The 69 patients in the repair group were divided into the non-failure group (62 cases) and the failure group (7 cases) depending on the repair effect. Postoperative outcomes of the repair group and the partial meniscectomy group were compared. General conditions and postoperative outcomes of the failure group and the non-failure group were compared. During the median follow-up period of 28 months (range, 4 - 65 months) after the second arthroscopy, postoperative outcomes of seven patients in the failure group were summarized. SPSS 25.0 statistical software was used for statistical analysis. A p value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsSeven patients in the failure group who underwent the second arthroscopy were followed up for (30 ± 17.4) months and their postoperative outcomes were summarized. Compared with the partial meniscectomy group, the International Knee Documentation Committee scores of patients in the repair group improved significantly (p = 0.031). Compared with the non-failure group, more patients in the failure group were younger than 24 years (p = 0.030). The median follow-up period was 39.5 months. All patients recovered well after subsequent partial meniscectomy and relieved clinical symptoms. Visual analog scale scores decreased significantly (p = 0.026), and the International Knee Documentation Committee and Lysholm scores improved significantly (p = 0.046 for both).ConclusionThe failure rate of meniscus repair in this study was 10.1% (7/69), all of which were medial meniscus tears. However, the surgical outcomes of ACL reconstruction were not affected, and there might be a role for graft protection. Therefore, meniscus retears can be successful treated by performing subsequent partial meniscectomy in patients with repair failure.     

Stress relaxation and creep: viscoelastic properties of common suture materials used for flexor tendon repair

PURPOSE: The time-dependent mechanical behavior of common suture materials may have a pronounced influence on the quality of flexor tendon repairs with respect to gap formation. METHODS: Sutures commonly used in plastic surgery, particularly for hand tendon repair, were tested in tension for analysis of stress relaxation and creep properties. The three materials tested were (1) Prolene, a monofilament polypropylene(Ethicon, Somerville, NJ); (2) Ethilon, a monofilament nylon(Ethicon, Somerville, NJ); and (3) Ticron, a braided polyester fiber (Sherwood, Davis & Geck, St. Louis, MO). All measurements were made with 1.5-mm (4-0) varieties of the sutures, in physiological buffered solution (0.9% phosphate-buffered saline [PBS]) at both room (22 degrees C) and body temperature (37 degrees C) conditions. RESULTS: Ticron was the stiffest suture at both room and body temperature, followed by Prolene and Ethilon. Both Prolene and Ethilon showed statistically (p< .05) reduced stiffness at body temperature. Prolene exhibited statistically larger (p< .05) relaxation and creep ratios than the other two sutures, and it was the only material to show temperature effects in creep and relaxation. CONCLUSIONS: Based on static and viscoelastic mechanical properties, Ticron is the most suitable suture for flexor tendon repairs when compared to Prolene and Ethilon.
