Abstract

Background: Chondral lesions are commonly encountered during arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM); however, it is unknown how these lesions affect postoperative outcomes. Purpose: The authors compared postoperative outcomes among patients with and without unstable chondral lesions 1 year after APM. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: The authors conducted a secondary analysis of data from the ChAMP (Chondral Lesions and Meniscus Procedures) randomized controlled trial. They compared the following outcomes for patients with unstable chondral lesions that were left in situ and observed (CL-noDeb) versus patients without unstable chondral lesions (NoCL) at 1 year after APM: Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, visual analog scale for pain, the Short Form Health Survey, range of motion, quadriceps circumference, and effusion. Multivariate linear regression was used to obtain mean differences (MDs) with corresponding 95% CIs adjusted for age, body mass index, and preoperative score (for postoperative scores). Results: Compared with the CL-noDeb group, the NoCL group had greater improvement in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index for pain (MD, 7.9, 95% CI: 2.7-13.1), stiffness (MD, 9.1, 95% CI: 1.9-16.3), and physical function (MD, 4.6, 95% CI: 0.1-9.0) and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for pain (MD, 8.4, 95% CI: 2.7-14.0), function in sport and recreation (MD, 11, 95% CI: 3.0-19.1), and quality of life (MD, 10.4, 95% CI: 2.3-18.5). The NoCL group was less likely than the CL-noDeb group to have an effusion (P = .02) 1 year after surgery. Conclusion: Patients undergoing APM without unstable chondral lesions had better outcomes than patients with unstable chondral lesions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The article presents research which compared the effectiveness of suture-only fixation and bone plug in meniscal grafts. Topics covered include the use of meniscus allograft transplantation (MAT) in relieving symptoms of meniscal injuries as well as the application of physiological loads in mimic gait. Also mentioned is the isolation of the outcomes of fixation technique in meniscal grafts.

Abstract

The article presents a study that measures the frequency of meniscal repairs, discover the failure rate for a meniscal repair as reflected by subsequent meniscectomies. The study determines the risk factors for a subsequent meniscectomy after repair in a large population-based cohort. It supports the notion that repairing a meniscus is a safe and effective procedure in the long term.

4. Factors Associated With Meniscal Tears and Chondral Lesions in Patients Undergoing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Prospective Study.

Author

Subjects
*ARTICULAR cartilage injuries, *AGE distribution, *ANTERIOR cruciate ligament surgery, *CONFIDENCE intervals, *EPIDEMIOLOGY, *FORECASTING, *JOINT hypermobility, *LONGITUDINAL method, *MENISCECTOMY, *MENISCUS injuries, *OBESITY, *RESEARCH funding, *SEX distribution, *SPORTS injuries, *T-test (Statistics), *TIME, *LOGISTIC regression analysis, *DATA analysis, *BODY mass index, *CASE-control method, *DATA analysis software, *DESCRIPTIVE statistics
Abstract

The article presents a study that identifies the predictors of intra-articular injuries in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The study examines the predictors of meniscal tear management including meniscectomy, meniscal repair, or meniscal tear left untreated. It explores the association of one of these predictors with intra-articular injuries and meniscal tear management.

Abstract

The article determines the effect of arthroscopic partial medial meniscectomy (PMM) on tibiofemoral stability. It presents a study to measure impact of PMM on tibiofemoral stability and evaluates the anterior-posterior (AP) position and knee laxity of the medial femoral condyle. It concluded that partial medial meniscectomy with 46 percent resection of the original width of the posterior horn significantly altered the AP position of the medial femoral condyle and also increased laxity.
