Long-term Effects of Concomitant Lateral Meniscal Management on ACL Reconstruction Revision Rate and Secondary Meniscal and Cartilaginous Injuries
This demonstrates that over 5 and 10 years, LM repair during primary ACLR is associated with an increased risk of revision ACLR and subsequent meniscal injuries. The higher risk of revision ACLR when the LM is left in situ emphasizes the need for careful consideration of treatment methods. Conversely, partial meniscectomy did not show an associated increased risk of cartilaginous injury in the long term and is associated with a lower risk of subsequent meniscal injury and revision ACLR than other treatment options, raising questions about whether preserving the meniscus at all costs is always the best approach.
