Meniscus Repair: A Review of the Literature:

Abstract

The importance of menisci to the knee has become more clearly delineated in recent years by biomechanical studies and by longterm follow-up of meniscectomy cases. Furthermore, the encouraging results of the studies on meniscal blood supply has led to the idea of meniscal preservation. The diagnosis of tears suitable for repair has been possible by arthroscopy. Cunently, it is accepted that %10-20 of all meniscal tears are repairable. The success rate of open or closed techniques is %80-90. We believe that, with the widespread use of arthroscopy and with the development of arthroscopic techniques, clinical results of meniscus repair will appear in our literature very soon. So, we thought that an extensive review of the literature would be beneficial.
