[Experience with open meniscus refixation. Results of follow-up in 17 cases].

Abstract

Results of refixation in 17 cases of meniscus ruptures are presented. The operation was an open arthrotomy. The follow-up examination is described. There are found 7 very good, 7 good and 3 satisfactory results. These results allow the attempt to preserve meniscus under certain preconditions by means of suture.
