Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy for Painful Degenerative Meniscal Tears in the Presence of Knee Osteoarthritis in Patients Older than 50 Years of Age: Predictors of an Early (1 to 5 Years) Total Knee Replacement
Background: The role of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) for painful degenerative meniscal tears (PDMT) is currently controversial. To define the rate of early (1 to 5 years) conversion to total knee replacement (TKR) and their predictors after APM for PDMT in patients with knee osteoarthritis and more than 50 years of age. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of patients more than...
متن کاملLate degenerative changes after meniscectomy. Factors affecting the knee after operation.
Late degenerative changes are known to follow meniscectomy, but there is little agreement on their incidence or on which patients are most at risk. A total of 210 patients have been reviewed 10 to 22 years after meniscectomy, and long leg radiographs taken of both knees. Radiological degeneration was seen in 18%, while 7% had significant symptoms and signs. Statistical analysis showed increased...
متن کاملRadiographic assessment of the knee after patellar tendon reconstruction for chronic anterior cruciate ligament deficiency.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the patellar height and degenerative changes of the knee by radiographic assessment after patellar tendon reconstruction for chronic anterior cruciate ligament deficiency. METHODS This series included 44 patients (44 knees) with an average age of 31 years and an average follow up of 58 months. The central one third of the patellar bone-tendon-b...
متن کاملArthroscopic partial meniscectomy versus sham surgery for a degenerative meniscal tear.
BACKGROUND Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy is one of the most common orthopedic procedures, yet rigorous evidence of its efficacy is lacking. METHODS We conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial in 146 patients 35 to 65 years of age who had knee symptoms consistent with a degenerative medial meniscus tear and no knee osteoarthritis. Patients were randomly assi...
متن کاملThe Effects of Total Meniscectomy on Knee Joint Contact Stresses: a Finite Element Study
As a first step to answer this research question, we carried out a comparison study, by finite element methods, on the contact stresses in the tibiofemoral joint of an intact knee and one with a total meniscectomy. Peak compressive stress increases after total meniscectomy. Results of this study show that the meniscectomised knee is subjected to high stress levels which may cause cartilage matr...
