Evaluation of the All-Inside Technique for the Repair of Lateral Meniscus Root Tears at 1 Year After ACL Reconstruction
BACKGROUND: The presence of a lateral meniscus root tear (LMRT) in patients with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear makes the knee more unstable and increases the risk of osteoarthritis and osteonecrosis. An all-inside suture repair technique without bone tunnels has been proposed to treat LMR...

description | BACKGROUND: The presence of a lateral meniscus root tear (LMRT) in patients with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear makes the knee more unstable and increases the risk of osteoarthritis and osteonecrosis. An all-inside suture repair technique without bone tunnels has been proposed to treat LMRT. PURPOSE: To compare the 1-year postoperative findings between patients who underwent ACL reconstruction combined with LMRT repair (LMRT group) and patients who underwent isolated ACL reconstruction (control group). STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: The LMRT group consisted of 19 patients, and the control group consisted of 56 patients. In this study, the authors compared the postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings (meniscal extrusion, ghost sign, and hyperintensity in the tibial plateau beneath the LMRT), functional outcomes (International Knee Documentation Committee [IKDC], Lysholm, and Tegner scores), and reoperation rate between groups. The primary endpoint was analyzed by comparing, in the LMRT group, the 1-sided 97.5% confidence interval (CI) of the mean lateral meniscal extrusion at 1 year to the limit of noninferiority (fixed at 0.51). To take into account imbalanced baseline characteristics between groups, adjusted mean meniscal extrusion (with 1-sided 97.5% CI) was assessed using a linear regression model. RESULTS: The mean follow-up was 12.2 months (range, 7.7-14.7 months) in the control group and 11.5 months (range, 7.1-13.0 months) in the LMRT group (P = .06). For meniscal extrusion, the LMRT group was noninferior to the control group. The mean meniscal extrusion was 2.19 mm (97.5% CI, —infinity to 2.68 mm) in the LMRT group and 2.03 mm (97.5% CI,—infinity to 2.27 mm) in the control group, indicating that the upper boundary of the 1-sided 97.5% CI in the LMRT group was less than the noninferiority threshold of 2.78 (ie, 2.27 mm + 0.51 mm = 2.78 mm). There was a statistically significant difference in the IKDC score between the LMRT and control groups (77.2 ± 8.1 vs 80.3 ± 7.3, respectively; P = .04). There was no between-group difference in the other MRI parameters, the Lysholm and Tegner scores, or the reoperation rate. CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference in extrusion on MRI or clinical outcomes at 1-year follow-up in patients who underwent ACL reconstruction with all-inside LMRT repair compared with patients who did not have an LMRT. |
