  • Title: [Arthroscopic meniscus suture].
    Author: Röddecker K, Edelmann M.
    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir Suppl Kongressbd; 1991; ():430-2. PubMed ID: 1793939.
    Abstract:
    Up to the late 1970s meniscectomy was a common procedure in case of meniscus tear. After operative technique was improved with arthroscopy and the meniscus was accepted as an important structure in the knee joint, different techniques of arthroscopic meniscus repair were demonstrated. Thirty-two patients were reexamined 2-4 years after arthroscopic meniscal repair by means of a technique developed in Cologne. Traumatic capsular lesions healed well even in case of persisting instability to the knee joint.
