Surgical treatment of meniscus lesions

Abstract

61 cases with the diagnosis of meniscus lesions according to clinical, arthrographic and arthroscopic diagnostic techniques were operated during years 1985-1989 at S. B. Haseki Hospital Orthopaedics and Traumatology Clinic. There were 62 meniscus tears, 39 of which received total-and 23 partial meniscectomy. 33 cases came for reexamination after our invitation during the second half of 1991. 3 of these cases were excluded from the study group because of extra pathology other than menisci. Follow-up period had a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 74 months, with the mean being 45.3. The results of reevaluation after total meniscectomy were as follows: 1 very good, 8 good, 3 fair and 1 bad results. The results after partial meniscectomy were 7 very good, 8 good, 2 fair. Very good and good results were evaluated as succesfull where as fair and bad results were unsuccesfull. Success within the group which received total meniscectomy was 69.2% and with partial meniscectomy 88.2%. It was concluded that in order to decrease the possibility of joint instability and gonarthrosis partial meniscectomy was the method to be chosen when the indications were appropriate.
