Significats de meniscal tears en anglès

One of the most common associations seen is secondary to degenerative meniscal tears.

Conclusions: Isolated horizontal meniscal tears in young patients predominantly involved non-dominant knees and medial meniscus.

A multivariate model was used to compare this cohort with a previously published cohort of patients with isolated meniscal tears.

Patient demographics, ligament injury patterns, meniscal tears and chondral injuries at arthroscopy, and interval from injury to surgery were recorded.

Discussion and conclusions: The main result of our experience is that helical CT appears less sensitive than conventional CT in detecting meniscal tears.

During the preoperative time period, 4 patients (25%) developed meniscal tears that were not visualized on the index magnetic resonance imaging scans.

Conclusion: Meniscal tears and chondral damage occur frequently in patients with a knee dislocation.

Meniscal tears were found in 56% of the lateral menisci and 37% of the medial menisci.

Meniscal tears in children are frequently associated with congenital meniscal abnormalities, while those in adolescents are often associated with ligamentous injuries of the knee.

Meniscal tears, or damage to cartilage connecting the same two bones, were associated with a 10.5% greater risk of osteoarthritis.
