Everhart JS, et al. - Researchers performed a systematic search identifying 225 studies assessing meniscus repair outcome on adults in order to evaluate failure rates after meniscus repair in patients age 40 years or older. They included meniscus repair outcomes of 148 patients from 11 studies (125 inside-out repairs and 23 all-inside repairs). Analysis revealed an overall failure rate of 10% (15/148), ranging from 0 to 23% in individual studies with more than one patient age ≥40 years. Patients aged 40 years and older had meniscus repair failure rates comparable to those quoted for younger patients; no difference in failure rates between groups was reported in a comparative study of patients over vs under age 40 years.
