Abstract | Purpose
Medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs) can cause severe medial extrusion of the medial meniscus (MMME) and the progression of knee degenerative changes, inducing a high signal intensity of the meniscus on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Although MMME and intrameniscal signal intensity (IMSI) reportedly decreased within 3 months after MMPRT repair, no previous studies have reported these changes after a 1-year follow-up. This study aimed to investigate the 1-year postoperative changes in MMME and IMSI on MRI after using different suture techniques. Methods Overall, 33 patients with MMPRT were evaluated, 22 underwent FasT-Fix-dependent modified Mason–Allen suture (F-MMA) repair, and 11 underwent two simple stitches (TSS) repair. MRI examinations were performed preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively. MMME and IMSI were determined using MRI. Results A significant decrease in postoperative MMME was observed in the TSS group (4.1 ± 1.0) relative to that in the F-MMA group (5.1 ± 1.4, P = 0.03). A significant decrease in postoperative IMSI (0.75 ± 0.14) was observed relative to preoperative IMSI in the TSS group (P < 0.01), whereas postoperative IMSI (0.94 ± 0.25) was similar to preoperative IMSI in the F-MMA group (P = 0.06). Furthermore, a significant decrease in postoperative IMSI was observed in the TSS group relative to that in the F-MMA group (P < 0.01). Conclusions The most important finding of this study is that TSS repair yielded a greater decrease in MMME and IMSI than F-MMA repair in patients with MMPRT. These results suggest that TSS repair is more useful for restoring loading stress to the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. |
