Arthroscopic partial medial meniscectomy

Abstract

Arthroscopic partial medial meniscetomy is minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure and in well selected cases is a method of choice for treatment of medial meniscus injuries when repair techniques are not a viable option. It has small rate of complications, low morbidity and fast rehabilitation.

Discoid Lateral Meniscus Incidence During Knee Arthroscopy

“…Long-term follow-up points to a greater prevalence of osteoarthritis changes after total meniscectomy, and many authors have since recommended partial arthroscopic meniscectomy. (13,14,15,34,35) Rosenberg et al…”

Outside-In Deep Medial Collateral Ligament Release During Arthroscopic Medial Meniscus Surgery

“…Usually, the arthroscopic meniscectomy is performed with successful clinical outcomes and low rates of complications. [1][2][3] However, in some cases, the medial compartment is poorly exposed with standard extension-valgus knee position and tears in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus can be missed or poorly visualized. 4 This can lead to improper tear configuration understanding, difficult access of instruments to the tear site, iatrogenic chondral damage, or missed diagnosis.…”
