Abstract

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that arthroscopic all-inside technology for meniscus repair has achieved good outcomes, and arthroscopic suture combined with sodium hyaluronate has an important role in the cartilage repair.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the therapeutic effect of arthroscopic all-inside suture repair combined with sodium hyaluronate injection in the repair of discoid meniscus tears.
METHODS: Twenty-two patients with discoid meniscus injury were subjected to arthroscopic all-inside suture repair combined with sodium hyaluronate injection. All cases were confirmed to have attached edge relaxation or longitudinal crack in operation. After repair, effective rehabilitation training was done.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The operations for the 22 cases were all successful and there was no complication. All patients were followed up for over 18 months. According to Ikenchi’s method (Lysholm knee score criterion), 11 cases were rated excellent, 8 were rated good, and 3 were rated fair, with an excellent/good rate of 86.36%. It is demonstrated that the all-inside suture repair under the guide of arthroscopy in discoid meniscus cases can remain the most appropriate anatomical structure of the meniscus that can play an effective function, and has the advantage of minimal invasion. Arthroscopic all-inside suture repair combined with intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate and standard rehabilitation training result in a lower complication rate and effectively promotes the meniscus repair.
