ACTA ORTHOP SCAND , 1985, vol. 56, n° 2, p. 130-132 Doc n°: 21308 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : DE561 - TRAITEMENT CHIRURGICAL - GENOU One hundred and fifteen primarly operated patients with medial collateral ligament tears of the knee have been reviewed. Two-thirds of the patients had associated cruciate ligament injuries. In 59 knees, injuries of the medial meniscus were found. Suture of the medial meniscus was performed in 53 patients, while medial meniscectomy was done in only six cases. Knee function was evaluated by follow-up after 4 (2-8) years. Excellent or good results as evaluated by the Lylholm knee score were obtained in 86 % of the patients, with equally good results in those with meniscus suture as compared to those without meniscus injury. No secondary meniscectomies were performed. Langue : ANGLAIS Identifiant basis : 1985002163 |
