“…We selected this model of a complete radial tear to observe the healing process in all diff erent meniscus blood supply zones aft er repairing with degradable sutures. Furthermore, we wanted to evaluate if the reported degenerative changes aft er radial tears [38] occur aft er meniscus repairs.…”

Background/Aims: In an ovine meniscal repair model, the patellofemoral (PF) osteoarthritis due to a non-sutured tear or failed repair was investigated. Methods: A radial meniscus tear was either sutured with polydioxanone (PDS), with a slow degrading polylactide long-term suture(LTS) or left without treatment. Knee joint cartilage in the PF and medial compartment was evaluated compared to normal knees (healthy controls). Results: Retropatellar osteoarthritis in the non-sutured and sutured animals was intense in contrast to the control knees after 6 months in all groups (p < 0.001), and after 12 months in the PDS group (p < 0.001), LTS group and non-sutured animals (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Non-sutured meniscus tears and failed repair lead fast to intense PF osteoarthritis corresponding with tibial damage of the injured compartment.

“…[9].The anterior horn of the lateral meniscus has fibers of the ACL that extend into it at the anterior root attachment where it attaches to the Tibial plateau. The posterior horn of the medial meniscus attaches to the tibial plateau immediately anterior to the posterior cruciate ligament.The circumferential arrangement of the type I collagen fibers provides the meniscus with tensile strength most essential for its load bearingfunctions [10]The menisci transmit more than 50% of body weight in extension, and even more in flexion.…”

“…9 On sagittal sequences, if the posterior root of medial meniscus is not detected just medial to the PCL, one should suspect a tear. 45 It can occur either in medial or lateral meniscus, although more common in medial meniscus, where it is thought to represent a degenerative tear. 46 Additionally, when an ACL tear is present, incidence of lateral root tear is increased.…”

Background: Menisci transmit the forces across the joint and cushion the mechanical loading of the joint. Thus, it is important to identify meniscal tear. A thorough understanding of normal meniscal anatomy and surrounding structure is critical for diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging is the current modality of choice providing fine resolution and multi-planar imaging for identifying the meniscal injuries and the various pattern of tear, helping to plan the subsequent management. The purpose of the work was to study the role of MRI in classifying the meniscal injuries.Methods: MRI Knee of 136 patients with meniscal injuries was studied. All the MR imaging scans were performed on 1.5-T MR system (Siemens magnetom Essenza).Results: A total of 136 patients were studied in which majority of the patient’s i.e. 90.44 % had medial meniscal tear while 18.38 % patients had lateral meniscal tear. Both medial and lateral meniscal tears were found in 8.82 % patients. Among the different types of tears, horizontal tear was the most common tear in both medial and lateral meniscus comprising 52.8 % and 52 % respectively. The tears being most common in the age group 41-50years. There were associated injuries to the other ligaments of the knee joint along with meniscal tear, ACL tear being the most common and was seen in 50% of patients.Conclusions: MRI is a good modality for classifying meniscal injury and evaluation of injuries to the associated ligaments. Secondary signs are good predictors of underlying meniscal tear in equivocal cases.
