Abstract
To investigate the clinical and radiologic outcomes and prognostic factors of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy with or without suture repair of the remnant rim and subtotal meniscectomy in children with discoid menisci. We retrospectively reviewed all consecutive patients aged younger than 18 years who underwent arthroscopy between 2003 and 2012, excluding patients with follow-up less than 2 years, concomitant injuries, underlying diseases, or a lost videotape. Patients were grouped by treatment method: partial meniscectomy with or without suture repair and subtotal meniscectomy. Clinical outcomes were determined based on symptoms, complications, and Lysholm scores. Degenerative changes were assessed radiologically. Risk factors for a lower Lysholm score were investigated. Of 100 knees (86 patients; mean age, 10.7 years), 87 underwent partial meniscectomy with (n = 42) or without (n = 45) suture repair and 13 underwent subtotal meniscectomy. The Lysholm score at a mean of 4.7 years (range, 2.0 to 10.9 years) improved to more than 90, regardless of meniscectomy method (P = .767; 95% confidence interval [CI], -5.1 to 6.9) or the addition of suture repair (P = .797; 95% CI, -3.5 to 4.6). Early degenerative changes were found in 1...Continue Reading
