Partially accelerated rehabilitation program after meniscal repair

Abstract

Arthroscopic meniscal repairs were applied to the 20 patients having peripheral (meniscocapsular junction or 3mm. peripheral) meniscus tears which were instable, vertical longitudinal and longer than 1 cm in length between 1993 and 1996. 16 patients were male and 4 patients were female. Mean age was 26.6 years (ranges; 17 to 40 years). Arthroscopic repair were applied to the right knees in 13 patients and to the left knees in 7 patients. There were 11 medial meniscal tears and 9 lateral meniscal tears in patients who were underwent arthroscopic repair. Patient were done partially accelerated Capa rehabilitation programe postoperatively. Average follow-up was 30 months (ranges; 13 to 51 months). Patients were evaluated according to the Modified Marshall Knee Scoring System (MMKS) and the mean MMKS was 28.65 (excellent). There were no pain and mechanical symptoms in the follow-ups of the patient. There were siffness of knee joint of two patients postoperatively because of prolonged immobilization. Full range of motions were obtained after arthroscopic release, manipulation under anesthesia and aggressive rehabilitation. There were no stiffness in other cases who were applied short term immobilization and early motion. All patients whose isolated meniscal tear were repaired returned to the previous sportive activity level in average 4 months and patients underwent ACL reconstruction + meniscus repair returned to the sports in average 9 months. In this study, we observed the healing of meniscal tears which were in peripheral vascular region and having undamaged meniscus and returning of patients to the previous activity level without any problem with our rehabilitation programme.
