Treatment Options 4
Slide 5-

Goal Pain-free knee that does not lock or catch 5
Slide 6-

Surgical Considerations Patient age <30 aggressively repair >50 limited meniscectomy 30-50 technique/surgeon/patient preference 6
Slide 7-

Surgical Considerations Chronicity of the injury Tear location Tear length Concomitant ACL injury Warren -90% successful repairs with ACL reconstruction Warren - 30-40% failure in unstable knees 7
Slide 8-

Leave alone 8
Slide 9-

Which tears can you leave alone? Fitzgibbons has shown that the short 1cm stable tear that is associated with the ACL tear can be left alone. The follow up of the untreated tears shows no increase in late meniscal symptoms or increase in the late meniscectomy rate Fitzgibbons R, Shelbourne KD. “Aggressive” non-treatment of lateral meniscal tears seen during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Am J Sports Med 1995;23:156-159.
Slide 10-

This is an incomplete posterior horn lateral tear that is stable. This tear can be left alone. 10
Slide 11-

Tears of the lateral meniscus noted to be posterior horn avulsions vertical tears posterior to the popliteus tendon incomplete radial or flap tears have been reported to be associated with high clinical success rate if left “in situ” at the time of ACL reconstruction.

REPAIR 12
Slide 13-

Ideal Candidate for Repair Young Acute, longitudinal, peripheral tear Repaired in conjunction with an ACL reconstruction 13
Slide 14-

Ideal repair situation 14
Slide 15-

Preparation of the Meniscus Para-meniscal synovial abrasion to stimulate healing response (fibro-chondrocytes) 15
Slide 16-

This is a repairable longitudinal posterior segment tear of the medial meniscus. This tear should be repaired early to prevent it’s extension into a bucket handle tear. 16

Augmentation
Slide 19-

Augmentation Vascular Access Technique (VAC) full thickness channels may disrupt collagen architecture 19
Slide 20-

In a goat model, it was shown that vascular access channels can allow proliferation of fibro-vascular scar tissue from the vascular channel into the tear site.125 Zhang Z, Arnold JA, Williams T, McCann B. Repair by trephination and suturing of longitudinal injuries in the avascular area of the meniscus in goats. Am J Sports Med1995;23:35-41.
Slide 21-

Augmentation Trephination 18g needle, horizontal punctures in vascular zone 90% success rate 21
Slide 22-

This stable incomplete tear of the medial meniscus is trephinated in 3 places with a number 18 gauge needle. 22
Slide 23-

Trephination In a study by Zhongnan, good results were obtained by trephination alone in this type of tear. Zhongnan A Arnold JA. Trephination and Suturing of Avascular Meniscal Tears: A Clinical Study of the Trephination Procedure. Arthroscopy 1996;12:726-31

Augmentation Synovial abrasion Synovium adjacent to repair abraided Augments normal response W-W efficacy? 25
Slide 26-

Augmentation Synovial pedicles raise flap based near meniscus rotate and suture to avascular area Fibrin clot Provides factors required for repair Defect heals with normal repair tissue Induce and support healing in W-W 26
Slide 27-

Fibrin Clot Technique 50 - 70cc venous blood clot forms clot tubularized or aspirated cannula insertion or injected 27

Augmentation Fibrin glue Adhesive better than natural clot Lacks biological factors alternative to suture of stable longitudinal posterior horn tears? 30
Slide 31-

Augmentation Laser Tissue adhesion by coagulation Stimulatory effect 31

Stem cell injection
Slide 33-

Stem cell injection Aim: To evaluate the effects of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell and bone marrow elements on the healing of meniscal tears. Conclusion: An injection of bone marrow into the meniscus tear site improves healing in a meniscal tear model as demonstrated by both light and electron microscopic findings.

Acta Orthop Traumatol Turc 2012;46(1):61-67
Slide 34-

Aim: to evaluate the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cell transplantation as a cell source to promote meniscal healing, using cells from the green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic rat and organ culture model They could detect transplanted GFP cells under a fluorescent microscope until 8 weeks after transplantation. In a clinical situation, mesenchymal stem cell transplantation is a promising new clinical strategy for the treatment of meniscal tears in the avascular zone. Izuta Y, Ochi M, Adachi N, et al.
