  • Title: [Treatment of meniscus lesions: personal results].
    Author: Fux HD, Brunner G.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1981 Apr; 52(4):275-80. PubMed ID: 7227012.
    Abstract:
    We examined 167 patients 10-14 years after meniscectomy to investigate the dependence of the frequency or arthrosis on operative technique. The relationship between the first clinical signs of meniscus lesion and the time of operation is discussed. The frequency and severity of post-operative alterations is considered in connection with age of the patient at the time of operation. We agree with other authors that the late results in patients under 20 years of age are clearly worse than those in adult patients. The long-term results shown radiological alterations in 72%; however, the functional late results are good or very good in nearly 84%.
