Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Clinical Outcomes Following Meniscus Repair in Patients 40 Years and Older
Meniscal repair in selected patients aged ≥40 years resulted in good success rates and patient-reported outcome measures, which appear similar to those reported for patients aged <40 years. Therefore, meniscal repairs can be performed in at least a specific portion of "older" patients, and age per se should not be the sole determining factor in whether to perform a meniscal repair.
