Meniscal lesionsi meniscectomy repair or abstention

Abstract

There are three different options in case of meniscal lesion. These are abstention, thatis to leave the torn meniscus alone, meniscectomy and meniscal repair. However, meniscallesions should be separated according to the etiology. Indications are different for meniscallesion associated with ACL tears and isolated meniscal lesions. Our experience and literature have led to the conclusion that meniscal preservation is the key word. In case of ACL rupture, meniscal repair or abstention are the best choices, in conjunct;on with ACL reconstruction. Meniscectomy must be rarely performed only on complex tears or by older pat;ents who do not require ACL reconstruction. In case of stable knee, if abstention can not be proposed or has failed, meniscectomy, as partial as possible, is probably the best treatment.
