Functional Evolution of Meniscal Repair Using Absorbable Implants.
UNLABELLED To evaluate the functional evolution of knees after repair of longitudinal meniscal rupture with absorbable arrow implant. METHODS Between June 1997 and February 2001, 23 patients with a mean age of 26.3 years were evaluated. The mean follow-up time was 72.87 months (45-96). We performed 19 medial and 4 lateral meniscal repairs. The patients were pre and postoperatively evaluated r...
متن کاملClinical Results of Meniscal Repair Using Submeniscal Horizontal Sutures
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...
متن کاملClinical results of all-inside meniscal repair using the FasT-Fix meniscal repair system.
BACKGROUND The meniscus plays a key role in the functioning of the knee. At the present time, meniscal repair has becomes the main treatment for meniscal tear. Compared to open surgery, arthroscopic meniscal repair has become popular because of shorter time need for the operation, the smaller wound, and better accessibility to the tear portion, which is particularly difficult during open surger...
متن کاملMeniscal Repair
The meniscus has several important roles, such as transmission of the load, absorption of the shock in the knee joint, acting as a secondary anteroposterior stabilizer of the knee joint, and contributing to proprioception of the knee joint. Degenerative changes of the knee joint develop in the long-term follow-up even after partial meniscectomy. Thus, there has been growing interest in meniscal...
متن کاملPull-out strength and stiffness of meniscal repair using absorbable arrows or Ti-Cron vertical and horizontal loop sutures.
We tested pull-out strength and linear stiffness of meniscal repair using bioabsorbable arrows and vertical and horizontal loop sutures in fresh-frozen bovine lateral menisci. In phase I, menisci repaired either with 2-0 Ti-Cron vertical or horizontal loop suture, or 10-, 13-, or 16-mm Meniscus Arrows were loaded to failure at 12.5 mm/sec. In phase II, we examined the number of barbs engaged an...
