Abstract

Introduction

Augmentation of meniscus repairs with fibrin clot may enhance the healing capacity. Pulling the clot into the tear with a suture ensures that it stays in position. This paper aims to assess the outcome of this technique.

Methods

52 patients over 4 years undergoing suture repair of a meniscus tear with blood clot augmentation were collected from a prospective database. Follow up included outcome scores and a questionnaire. Failure was defined as pain or further surgery secondary to meniscal pathology.
