In this episode, we’re going to continue our discussion with Dr. Aaron Krych and focus on surgical advancements to address meniscus extrusion and optimize postoperative outcomes for patients.
Our conversation picks back up with an article published last month in Arthroscopy Techniques titled “Arthroscopic Centralization of the Extruded Meniscus With Posterior Root Tear: A Technique Using Meniscotibial Ligament Fixation.” Most meniscus centralization techniques involved anchoring the meniscus body directly to the tibia, which can limit the normal anatomic motion of the meniscus. Dr. Krych and his team described a novel technique for meniscus centralization that maintains natural meniscal motion by utilizing the meniscotibial ligaments to centralize the meniscus body.
Then, from the May 2024 issue of Arthroscopy, we review an article titled “Satisfactory Clinical Outcome, Complications, and Provisional Results of Meniscus Centralization with Medial Meniscus Root Repair for the Extruded Medial Meniscus at Mean 2-Year Follow-Up.” This case series concluded that patients undergoing medial meniscus root repair with meniscus centralization demonstrated significant improvements in pain, function, satisfaction and quality of life. Additionally, there was no evidence of significant arthritic progression on postoperative imaging. No patients underwent revision meniscus surgery or total knee arthroplasty.
