10 Year Outcome Following Meniscus Repair Using Inside-Out Technique: A Comparative Cohort of Patients 40 years and Older vs Patients Younger than 40

摘要

Objectives:The number of meniscus repairs being performed is increasing, as research supports the need to preserve native meniscus tissue. Although excellent short-term results have been published after meniscus repair, there are limited data available on longer outcomes in patients treated with a single type of repair. The purpose of this study was to compare failure rate and clinical outcomes 10 years following mensicus repair, using inside-out technique, by a single surgeon in patients 40 years and older and patients younger than 40 years.
