Surgical treatment of meniscal lesions

Abstract

Between the years 1967-1987, in Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology of Gulhane Military Medical Acedemy and Medical Faculty, surgical therapy has been performed on l328 cases with meniscal lesions. We have applied total menisectomy in 1228 cases (92.4%) and partial menisectomy in 48 cases (3.6%). In 12 cases (0.9%), peripheral meniscal tears were repaired with sutures. We couldn’t establish any pathology in 40 cases (3.1%) in which we had performed arthrotomy. We have postoperatively seen complications such as septic arthiritis in on case, skin defect on patella in one case, painful neuromas of the branches of the infrapatellar portion of she saphenous nerve in five cases and postoperative hemarthrosis in eight cases. Follow-up has been from 2 months to 2.5 years with an average of 5.3 months.
