【Introduction】
A radial tear of the meniscus has been known to significantly increase the tibio-
femoral contact pressure and predisposes to premature osteoarthritis (OA) of the
knee. Therefore, repairing the radial tear was suggest and performed with different
techniques. There were few studies evaluating the clinical and image results after
repairing a radial tear. The purpose of our study was to describe the all-inside
suture technique and outcomes after repairing the radial tears.
【Results】
Ten patients were excluded due to lack of MRI study post-operatively. Four patients
were isolated radial tear of lateral meniscus. The radial tears of other nine
patients were combined with ACL rupture. The MRI revealed healing rate about 76.9%.
The mean Lysholm-knee-score improved from 65.8 to 91. The Tegnar activity scale had
no significant change. The mean post-op IKDC score was 84.9. The squatting ability
was improved from 7.3 (pre-op) to 8.85 (post-op) and the pain score was also
improved from 7.15(pre-op) to 8.77(post-op) without significant change (P=0.68).
The locking sensation improved from 7.69 (pre-op) to 9.54 (post-op) with
significant change (P=0.11).The knee swelling improved from 6.54 (pre-op) to 8.46
(post-op).
【Discussion】
Our study revealed the technique of all-inside radial tear repair had good results
of image and clinical knee condition. Although we did not perform the second look by
arthroscope, the non-invasive image results proved the radial tear repair is
available. The clinical results also suggest that radial tear repair provide the
acceptable recovery of knee function. Although the good image and clinical results
of our study, the long term OA change of the knee was need to evaluation and follow
up by X ray.
