Abstract
Recent research underscores the significance of meniscal extrusion in knee osteoarthritis progression. Centralization of the meniscus has emerged as a potential intervention, yet comprehensive literature on this is limited. This systematic review aims to synthesize evidence on meniscus centralization's impact on extrusion and knee biomechanics. A search of PubMed Central and Scopus yielded 14 relevant articles until June 1, 2023. Included were 3 case series, 9 cadaveric studies, and 2 involving animals or patients. Biomechanical effects on both medial and lateral menisci were explored, alongside implications for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Findings suggest centralization may mitigate extrusion and improve knee biomechanics, potentially benefiting clinical outcomes. However, further high-quality studies are warranted to validate these observations and ascertain optimal centralization techniques.
期刊介绍：
Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review helps physicians digest the large volume of clinical literature in sports medicine and arthroscopy, identify the most important new developments, and apply new information effectively in clinical practice. Each issue is guest-edited by an acknowledged expert and focuses on a single topic or controversy. The Guest Editor invites the leading specialists on the topic to write review articles that highlight the most important advances. This unique format makes the journal more in-depth, authoritative, and practical than most publications in this field. The journal also includes dozens of full-color and black-and-white arthroscopic images and illustrations.
