In early surgical repair of forty acute ruptures of the medial ligament of the knee in patients sixteen to twenty-four years old, the meniscus was resutured when it was avulsed from the bone and was excised only when there was central disruption (three knees). Follow-up of one to six years in thirty-six patients whose menisci were preserved showed that thirty-three had no limitations due to knee impairment. Twenty-six patients were re-examined; sixteen had no medial instability and twenty-one had no anterior rotatory instability. We concluded that in the absence of significant advantage from meniscectomy, an intact meniscus should not be removed.
在对16至24岁的患者进行的40例急性膝关节内侧韧带断裂的早期手术修复中，当半月板从骨头上撕脱时进行了重新缝合，只有在出现中央撕裂时才进行切除（3例膝关节）。对36例半月板得以保留的患者进行了1至6年的随访，结果显示33例患者没有因膝关节损伤而受到限制。对26例患者进行了复查；16例没有内侧不稳定，21例没有前旋转不稳定。我们得出结论，在半月板切除术没有显著优势的情况下，不应切除完整的半月板。
