To examine the rate of meniscal re-tear in patients with concomitant ACL reconstruction, with specific focus on surgical factors and patient demographic factors. A retrospective chart review was performed on all patients who underwent meniscal repair with concomitant ACL reconstruction at our institution over a seven-year period. Demographic and case variables were assessed, including sex, age, height, weight, BMI, medial versus lateral repairs, ACL graft type, ACL reconstruction technique, meniscus repair technique, and post-operative weight bearing status. Failure of repair was defined as need for repeat surgery on the same meniscus. There were 191 patients included in the study; of those 118 did not need further surgery on the meniscus at a minimum of 2 years post operation while 73 did have a re-operation on the same meniscus (rate of failure 38.2%). There were significant differences between re-operation and non-re-operation groups based on ACL graft type (54% failure for allograft vs. 30/23% failure for both autograft cohorts) and meniscal repair side (46% re-tear rate for medial meniscus vs. 17% for lateral meniscus). The pediatric (under 18 years old) cohort included 57 patients; 28 patients required additional meniscal surgery and 29 did not (rate of re-operation 49%). The overall failure rate of meniscus repair was nearly 40%. Risk factors for re-tear of the meniscus were repair of the medial meniscus and allograft usage for ACL reconstruction. The rate of re-tear in patients under 18 was nearly 50%, which is higher than in the adult population.
为了研究合并前交叉韧带重建的患者半月板再撕裂的发生率,特别关注手术因素和患者人口统计学因素。对我院7年期间所有接受半月板修复并同时进行前交叉韧带重建的患者进行了回顾性病历审查。评估了人口统计学和病例变量,包括性别、年龄、身高、体重、体重指数、内侧与外侧修复、前交叉韧带移植物类型、前交叉韧带重建技术、半月板修复技术以及术后负重状态。修复失败定义为需要对同一半月板进行再次手术。该研究共纳入191例患者;其中118例在术后至少2年时无需对半月板进行进一步手术,而73例确实对同一半月板进行了再次手术(失败率为38.2%)。基于前交叉韧带移植物类型(同种异体移植物失败率为50%,而异体肌腱移植物两个队列的失败率分别为30%/23%)和半月板修复侧(内侧半月板再撕裂率为46%,外侧半月板为17%),再次手术组和未再次手术组之间存在显著差异。儿科(18岁以下)队列包括57例患者;28例患者需要额外的半月板手术,29例不需要(再次手术率为49%)。半月板修复的总体失败率接近40%。半月板再撕裂的危险因素是内侧半月板修复和前交叉韧带重建使用同种异体移植物。18岁以下患者的再撕裂率接近50%,高于成人人群。
