Description
Summary:BACKGROUND This retrospective study from a single center in Turkey aimed to evaluate 2-year outcomes of 21 patients undergoing knee arthroscopic repair of extruded meniscus tears without root tear. MATERIAL AND METHODS The retrospective study comprised 21 individuals who underwent arthroscopic extruded meniscus repair and were followed up for at least 2 years. The study analyzed the meniscus extrusion amounts in preoperative and postoperative MRI scans, the Kellgren-Lawrence stages in knee radiographs, and the Lsyhom and The International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores of the included patients. RESULTS In this study, the repair operation extrusion levels were 3.30 mm from 4.01 mm preoperatively (P
