  • Title: Arthroscopic partial lateral meniscectomy long-term results in athletes.
    Author: Bonneux I, Vandekerckhove B.
    Journal: Acta Orthop Belg; 2002 Oct; 68(4):356-61. PubMed ID: 12415937.
    Abstract:
    This is a retrospective case-control study of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy for isolated lesions of the lateral meniscus, performed between 1990 and 1995. Thirty-one knees were evaluated after an average follow-up of 8 years: 48.4% had excellent/good IKDC-scores and 64.5% excellent/good Lysholm scores. The Tegner activity score dropped from 7.2 (competitive sports) to 5.7 (recreational sports). Fairbank changes were noted in 92.9% of the radiographs. Deterioration of results after arthroscopic partial lateral meniscectomy is obvious. The extent of the resection is a significant factor.
