目的:我们旨在评估内侧半月板后根撕裂(MMPRTs)拔除修复后3年内多个时间点内侧半月板挤压(MME)的纵向变化和临床评分。
方法:这项回顾性病例系列研究包括64例接受MMPRTs拔除修复和四次MRI评估的患者(术前和3个月时,1年,术后3年)。在相同的时间点测量MME。临床评分评估四次:术前和术后1、2和3年。此外,对术前测量点至术后3年的MME变化(ΔMME)进行多变量分析.
结果:从术前测量点到术后3个月每月的ΔMME,术后3个月至1年,术后1至3年分别为0.30、0.05和0.01mm/月,分别。所有临床评分均在术后3年显著改善(p<0.001)。在从术前测量点到术后3年的ΔMME的多元回归分析中,性别显著影响结局(p=0.039)。
结论:下肢吻合良好的MMPRTs拔除修复后,虽然MME进展不能完全阻止,进展速度随着时间的推移而下降,和临床评分改善。特别是,术后前3个月MME明显进展。此外,性别对MME进展有显著影响,表明男性可能能够扩大MMPRTs拔出修复的指征。
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the longitudinal changes in medial meniscus extrusion (MME) and clinical scores at multiple time points up to 3 years after pullout repair for medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs).
METHODS: This retrospective case series study included 64 patients who underwent pullout repair for MMPRTs and four MRI evaluations (preoperatively and at 3 months, 1 year, and 3 years postoperatively). MME was measured during the same time points. Clinical scores were assessed four times: preoperatively and at 1, 2, and 3 years postoperatively. Additionally, a multivariate analysis was performed on the change in MME (ΔMME) from the preoperative measurement point to 3 years postoperatively.
RESULTS: The ΔMME per month from the preoperative measurement point to 3 months postoperatively, from 3 months to 1 year postoperatively, and from 1 to 3 years postoperatively were 0.30, 0.05, and 0.01 mm/month, respectively. All clinical scores significantly improved 3 years postoperatively (p < 0.001). In a multiple regression analysis for ΔMME from the preoperative measurement point to 3 years postoperatively, sex significantly affected the outcome (p = 0.039).
CONCLUSIONS: Following pullout repair for MMPRTs with well-aligned lower extremities, although MME progression could not be entirely prevented, the rate of progression decreased over time, and clinical scores improved. In particular, MME progressed markedly during the first 3 months postoperatively. Additionally, sex had a significant influence on MME progression, suggesting that males may be able to expand the indications of pullout repair for MMPRTs.
