Overview

Retrospective cohort study evaluates mid-term outcomes of meniscal repair, indicating high satisfaction and return-to-sport rates.

Key Points

  • To assess failure rates, survivorship, and patient outcomes following all-inside repair of bucket-handle and full-thickness radial meniscal tears.
  • Retrospective cohort study with two-year follow-up
  • Analyzed demographic data and treatment outcomes
  • Used PROMs like IKDC and Tegner Activity Scale
  • Conducted Kaplan-Meier survival analyses for failure rates
  • Subgroup comparisons for tear location and ACL reconstruction
  • Overall failure rate was 17.8% at 4 years
  • 95% patient satisfaction with 87.2% returning to sports
  • Chronic and medial bucket-handle tears had higher failure rates
  • ACL reconstruction showed lower failure rates in repairs
  • Re-tears confirmed by MRI were noted in a small percentage of cases.
