Results at More Than 10 Years of Meniscal Sutures Without Avivement (SMI)

October 18, 2023 updated by: University Hospital, Strasbourg, France

Currently, suturing the lesion is recommended rather than the classic meniscectomy, which leads to early and subsequent gonarthrosis. The most commonly practiced technique is arthroscopic suturing after avivement the area to be sutured to promote healing. But the real benefit of this enhancement has never been documented. The complexity of the surgical procedure makes the acceptability of this indication low by orthopedic surgeons at present (10% sutures compared to 90% meniscectomies).

The aim of the study is to evaluate the 10-year survival rate of meniscal sutures without avivement.
