Purpouse

We hypothesized that patients receiving a medial collagen meniscus implant (MCMI) would show better clinical, radiograpich and Magnetic Resonanace Imaging (MRI) outcomes than patients treated with partial medial meniscectomy (PMM) at minimum 10 year FU.

Material and Methods

Thirty-three non-randomized patients (males, mean age 40 years) were enrolled in the study to receive a MCMI (17 patients) or as control treated with a PMM (16 patients).

All of them were clinically evaluated at time zero, 5 and minimum 10 years after surgery (mean FU 133 months, range 120–145) by Lysholm, VAS for pain, objective IKDC knee form and Tegner activity level. SF-36 score was performed pre-operatively and at final FU.

Bilateral weight-bearing XRays were executed at time zero and at final FU. Minimum 10 years FU MRI images were compared with collected pre-operative MRI images by means of Yulish score. Genovese score was also used to evalute MCMI MRI survivorship.
