Second look arthroscopic evaluation of repaired radial/oblique tears of the midbody of the lateral meniscus in stable knees

摘要

Background: Radial/oblique tears of the midbody of the lateral meniscus significantly impair the ability of the meniscus to withstand the tibiofemoral load, requiring meniscal repair. However, healing status after meniscal repair has not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to evaluate arthroscopic findings after inside-out suture repair for isolated radial/oblique tears of the midbody of the lateral meniscus.
