Results at More Than 10 Years of Meniscal Sutures Without Avivement
University Hospital, Strasbourg, France · NCT06098391
This study looks at how well meniscus stitches work over 10 years for patients who had knee surgery without using a special technique to boost healing.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the 10-year survival rate of meniscal sutures performed without the avivement technique, which is traditionally used to enhance healing. The study focuses on patients who underwent knee arthroscopy at the University Hospital in Strasbourg between January 2011 and June 2013. By analyzing the outcomes of these procedures, the research seeks to provide insights into the effectiveness of meniscal sutures compared to the more commonly performed meniscectomies. The findings could help inform surgical practices and improve patient care in knee arthroscopy.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older who had a medial or lateral meniscal lesion treated by arthroscopic suture at the University Hospital of Strasbourg between 2011 and 2013.
Not a fit: Patients who had meniscal lesions that were not sutured or were sutured with avivement will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide evidence supporting the use of meniscal sutures without avivement, potentially leading to better long-term outcomes for patients with knee injuries.
How similar studies have performed: While the approach of evaluating meniscal sutures without avivement is less common, similar studies have shown promising results in the past, though this specific methodology has not been extensively tested.
