All-Inside Meniscal Repair

All-inside meniscal repair has gained widespread popularity over recent years. The devices and techniques have rapidly evolved, resulting in increased ease of use and reduced surgical times and risk to the neurovascular structures. Despite these advances, inside-out suture repairs remain the current gold standard, with proven long-term results. All-inside techniques must continue to be compared to inside-out meniscal repair.

Cellular Components

Fibrocartilage or known as meniscus tissues located in between the tibia and femur always subjected to extreme forces that can lead to injury especially for the sportsperson. The meniscal injury mean incidence in the general population is 66 per 100,000. The principal methods for the surgical management of fibrocartilage injury have been improvised from meniscectomy to meniscal repair and meniscal reconstruction that portrays different advantages and disadvantages in the short and long-term results. The inability to treat meniscus injury without osteoarthritis development in long-term results also motivates to find new treatment strategies. In this current era, the development of the multidisciplinary fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine provides new alternatives for the treatment approaches. This field involves the regeneration of the required tissue using scaffolds such as synthetic, natural, and biological scaffolds to restore the damaged one. Biological scaffolds are preferable because it tremendously mimics the native anatomical structure and has similar ratios and concentration of the proteins and growth factors that influence tissue repair and remodeling. The development of biological scaffolds with low immunogenic levels involves the decellularization process that eliminates all the cellular components while preserved the extracellular matrix (ECM) integrity and mechanics. In this review, the pros and cons of the recent decellularization strategies to engineer fibrocartilage scaffolds have been discussed. We believed that the ideal decellularization methods still need to be explored to develop suitable biological scaffolds that structurally and functionally mimic native tissue as a replacement for new tissue regeneration.

Meniscus Refixation

Abstract Purpose Aim of this systematic review was to analyze long-term results after meniscus refixation. Methods A systematic literature search was carried out in various databases on studies on long-term results after meniscus refixation with a minimum follow-up of 7 years. Primary outcome criterion was the failure rate. Secondary outcome criteria were radiological signs of osteoarthritis (OA) and clinical scores. Results A total of 12 retrospective case series (level 4 evidence) were identified that reported about failure rates of more than 7 years follow-up. There was no statistical difference in the failure rates between open repair, arthroscopic inside-out with posterior incisions and arthroscopic all-inside repair with flexible non-resorbable implants. In long-term studies that examined meniscal repair in children and adolescents, failure rates were significantly higher than in studies that examined adults. Six studies have shown minor radiological degenerative changes that differ little from the opposite side. The reported clinical scores at follow-up were good to very good. Conclusion This systematic review demonstrates that good long-term outcomes can be obtained in patients after isolated meniscal repair and in combination with ACL reconstruction. With regard to the chondroprotective effect of meniscus repair, the long-term failure rate is acceptable. Level of evidence IV.

AbstractPost cholecystectomy bile duct strictures present a challenge to the treating physicians. Advancement in skills and technology offers alternative treatment modalities to the standard surgical repair. Contemporary series of surgical repair by experienced surgeons report excellent long-term results with <5% restricture rates. Endoscopic therapy is conceptually flawed, is not applicable to all patients, requires prolonged duration of treatment with multiple interventions. Surgical repair by an experienced surgeon is the “Gold Standard” of care in management of postcholecystectomy bile duct strictures.
