SAVE THE MENISCUS
“ MENISCUS DEFICIENCY IS THE #1 PROBLEM IN ORTHOPAEDICS TODAY”.
F. Noyes, M.D.
-All clinics see many patients with irreparable meniscus lesions
-10 years later these patiens are candidates for HTOs,cartilage transfers and other
salvage procedures
-Finally, most of these patients ultimately require a knee replacement.

It’s difficult to draw conclusions regarding MAT
- Different procedures
- Many studies with concomitant surgical procedures and different
chondral lesions
- 70-80 % good and excellent results with F.U. > 5- 10 y

CLINICAL EVIDENCE
MAT IS becoming a shared surgery option
Pain and swelling relief is the main benefit
The overall failures can be estimated at 10 to 20% at 5 years
and 20 % at 10 y.
Clinical results are connected to chondral damage
No differences between bony or sutures fixation
No correlation between MRI extrusion and clinical results,
but extruded graft could be an indicator of failure

CLINICAL EVIDENCE
Correct indications : cronic pain for patients who has lost
graeter than 50 % of the meniscus , but still has an intact
rim and anterior and posterior horn attachments
The primary goal is to restore a normal volume of meniscus
tissue
The scaffold prevent further degenerative changes
The scaffold provide long-term patient outcomes when
compared with partial meniscetomy
In acute cases no difference between meniscetomy and
scaffold

FUTURE DIRECTION A variety of different technologies are being studied for the purpose of replacing
lost meniscal tissue or entire meniscus
- Hydrogels , biphasic biocampatible materials
- Mesechymal stem cell – seeded scaffold
- Syntetic meniscus
PCU (polycarbonate-uretane matrix ) reinforced with high – modulus
UHMWPE fibers (ultrahigh molecular weight polietilene)
