All-cause failure rates increase with time following meniscal repair despite favorable outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Arthroscopy Jun 22, 2021

Ow ZGW, Law MSN, Ng CH, et al. - This study was intended to conduct a meta-analysis of studies reporting meniscus repair outcomes. Researchers conducted a meta-analysis of meniscal repair failure (defined as persistent symptoms, lack of healing on magnetic resonance imaging or revision surgery) and other clinical outcomes following meniscal repair. Pooled analyses were performed using a random-effects model because of the inherent heterogeneity of single-arm meta-analyses. The results suggested that meniscus repair for traumatic injuries have an all-cause failure rate that increases from 12% to 19% through a time period ranging from 1-6 years following surgery. It has been reported that failure rates were comparable for individuals with meniscal repairs conducted with concomitant ACLRs.
