Arthroscopic meniscectomy of the middle and posterior parts of the medial and lateral meniscus and our operative technique

Abstract

Between December 1983 and March 1991 , 2200 knee artnroscopies were performed at the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology of İstanbul University, İstanbul Faculty of Medicine. Ouring the last four years, over 500 surgical arthroscopies were performed and 63 in 62 patients were arthroscopic meniscectomies of the middle and posterior parts of the medial and lateral menisci for isolated meniscallesions without any instability. The mean age was 38, 8 (15-58) years. The right knee was involved in 34 and 41 were men. The medial meniscus was involved in 42, while the Iateral meniscus was affected in 11 knees. One knee had involvement of both menisci. The most frequent configuration of the tears was a longitudinallesion in 26. All patients were evaluated objectively and subjectively. it is concluded that, due to Iesser morbidity and lesser complication rate, easier and shorter rehabilitation and sooner return to sports, arthroscopic operations have significant advantages over conventional open techniques. Aiso our three-portal technique, with scope in the anterolateral, grasping instrument or probe in the anteromedial and kinife in the transpatellar portals, which was used in the majority of cases and its advantages over other techniques are described in details.
