Comparable clinical outcomes between patients aged over and under 60 years undergoing medial meniscus posterior root repair using a soft suture anchor technique: A preliminary retrospective cohort study
Objectives
This study aimed to evaluate whether functional outcome scores in patients over 60 years of age improve after arthroscopic medial meniscus posterior root repair using a soft suture anchor. Additionally, it aimed to compare postoperative outcomes between patients over 60 years and those under 60 years of age.
Methods
A retrospective cohort study of 30 patients who underwent medial meniscus posterior root repair between June 2019 and February 2023. The patients were divided into two groups (≥60 years, n = 15; <60 years, n = 15). Outcomes were assessed using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Lysholm scores at two years, along with MRI-based meniscus healing and radiographic osteoarthritis progression.
Results
Both age groups demonstrated statistically significant improvement in functional scores at two years. In the ≥60 years age group, IKDC improved from 31.9 ± 8.8 to 61.5 ± 11.3 (P < 0.001) and Lysholm from 49.1 ± 14.9 to 87.6 ± 10.5 (P < 0.001). In the <60 years group, IKDC improved from 35.7 ± 10.4 to 54.3 ± 8.1 (P < 0.001) and Lysholm from 52.1 ± 19.3 to 82.0 ± 12.4 (P < 0.001). No statistically significant differences were observed between the groups for functional scores, meniscal healing (P = 0.352) or osteoarthritis progression (P = 0.762).
Conclusions
The patients aged ≥60 years who underwent arthroscopic medial meniscus posterior root repair using a soft suture anchor demonstrated functional improvements comparable to younger patients. Age alone should not be a contraindication for this procedure, though long-term follow-up is warranted to assess osteoarthritis progression.
