“…On the contrary, preservation of meniscus, especially if the tear is located at the vascular zone, using arthroscopic meniscal repair techniques has proved an effective procedure for younger patients [9,15]. There are three main techniques for repairing meniscal tears: the inside-out, the outside-in and the all-inside technique.…”

A case of chondral lesion of the medial femoral condyle caused by a bioabsorbable Mitek RapidLoc meniscal repair implant is presented. Meniscal repair was quite successful, but migration of one of the implanted fixation devices resulted in chondral damage, 12 months postoperatively. All orthopaedic surgeons using these new devices should be aware of the possibility of chondral damage of the adjacent femoral condyles.

“…In a systematic review [7], the most popular of all the HRQL instruments used to calculate QALYs was the EQ-5D, used 47.5% of the time, the newer SF-6D was used 5% of the time, and the most frequently studied medical speciality was orthopaedics (16%). Studies have also used reduced or single portions of generic HRQL measures, for example the Mental Component Summary Scale, Physical Component Summary Scale Scores [8] and the physical function dimension of the SF-36 [9,10].…”

For this patient population, our findings indicated that the EQ-5D was more consistently responsive to change over time, as a utility index was better at distinguishing differences between groups and reflected the results of the joint-specific HCQ for knee recovery better than the SF-6D. It is therefore recommended that for similar populations, the EQ-5D is preferable to the SF-6D for utilisation alongside the HCQ.

“…1,2 Arthroscopic meniscal repair is an effective procedure for young patients with meniscal tears in the vascular zone of the meniscus where the potential for healing exists. [3][4][5] Traditional meniscal repair techniques involve open or arthroscopic suture of the meniscus. The surgery can be performed using an inside-out, [6][7][8][9] outside-in, 10,11 or all-inside 12,13 technique.…”
