Meniscal tear--a feature of osteoarthritis.
Meniscectomy is recognized as an important risk factor for the development of knee osteoarthritis (OA), a disease that traditionally has been considered as a simple "wear and tear" phenomenon. However, despite numerous reports, little evidence has been presented that a limited meniscal resection, compared with a more extensive resection, reduces the risk of OA by preserving meniscal function. W...
متن کاملLocalised pigmented villonodular synovitis: an uncommon cause of knee pain mimicking a meniscal tear.
A previously well 30 year old man presented with a short history of intra-articular mechanical locking, swelling, and anteromedial joint line pain. There was localised tenderness, and McMurray's test was positive. Arthroscopy revealed a 3.6 x 2.6 x 1.5 cm firm pedicular localised pigmented villonodular synovitis originating from the insertion of the anterior horn of the medial meniscus. Owing t...
متن کاملMiddle-aged patients with an MRI-verified medial meniscal tear report symptoms commonly associated with knee osteoarthritis
Background and purpose - No consensus exists on when to perform arthroscopic partial meniscectomy in patients with a degenerative meniscal tear. Since MRI and clinical tests are not accurate in detecting a symptomatic meniscal lesion, the patient's symptoms often play a large role when deciding when to perform surgery. We determined the prevalence and severity of self-reported knee symptoms in ...
متن کاملThe use of MRI in the investigation of lateral meniscal tear post medial unicompartmental knee replacement
The evaluation of lateral knee pain in patients with a medial unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) is complex. The native lateral compartment structures are prone to the same injuries as patients with normal knees. Historical reports of lateral meniscal injury post medial UKR have argued MRI evaluation is obsolete due to artefact caused by the prosthesis. We report a case of lateral meniscal...
متن کاملSigns of knee osteoarthritis common in 620 patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery for meniscal tear
Background and purpose - Recent evidence has questioned the effect of arthroscopic knee surgery for middle-aged and older patients with degenerative meniscal tears with or without concomitant radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA). We investigated the prevalence of early or more established knee OA and patients' characteristics in a cohort of patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery for a menisc...
