Abstract

We evaluated the effect of adjunctive healing measures on central tears of the adult goat medial meniscus and the role of magnetic resonance arthrography in the assessment of menisci that have undergone a repair. Peripheral tears were made unilaterally in the medial menisci of seven goats in Group I and repaired with nonabsorbable suture. Six Group II goats had central medial meniscal tears repaired as in Group I plus an exogenous fibrin clot. Eight Group III goats had central tears plus abrasion of the parameniscal synovium and tear edges. Six months after surgery, a magnetic resonance imaging scan and a magnetic resonance arthrogram were obtained and the menisci were examined grossly. Group I goats showed healing in all seven knees. Central tears repaired with a fibrin clot (Group II) showed healing in one of six knees (17%). Central tears repaired with abrasion (Group III) showed healing in seven of eight knees (87.5%). Magnetic resonance arthrography was 100% accurate in detecting the presence or absence of complete residual tears. This study supports the current trend of using adjunctive measures for repair of central tears. Furthermore, abrasion of the parameniscal synovium and the tear edges appears to be more effective ...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
