摘要: From 1984 through 1986 we performed 54 arthroscopic meniscal repairs on patients with anterior cruciate ligament-stable knees. We evaluated the repair results of 52 these at an average followup 7.5 years. In 40 had not failed and were examined clinically radio- graphically ; in 25 cases, magnetic resonance imaging was also performed. Significantly more failures (P ≤ 0.05) occurred when rim width tear greater than 3 mm repaired resorbable sutures. Conversely, following factors found to favorably influence healing > 0.05): time from injury surgery less 8 weeks, patient age 30 years, length 2.5 cm, lateral meniscus. The overall failure rate after years 27% (14 52); 64% (9 14) first 6 months repair. clinical radiographic evaluation success fully knees showed tha...
