ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
We compared the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-confirmed cyst formation rate after meniscal tear repair using a new all-inside suture device (N group) versus the older all-inside suture device (O group).METHODS:
Between October 2008 and July 2017, 94 consecutive menisci of 89 patients were diagnosed with meniscal tears and underwent arthroscopic meniscal repair using the all-inside suture device. Five of these patients were lost to follow-up within 12 months and were excluded from the study. The remaining 89 menisci were followed up for at least 12 months and were included in this retrospective cohort study. Older all-inside suture devices (FasT-Fix, Ultra FasT-Fix) were used until December 2012, while the new all-inside suture device (FasT-Fix 360) was used from January 2013 onwards. Meniscal cysts were detected on T2-weighted fat-suppressed MRI at 12 months postoperatively. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify demographic and clinical factors associated with the use of the new all-inside suture device and cyst formation.RESULTS:
In total, 36 and 53 menisci were included in the N and O groups, respectively. The incidence of meniscal cysts was significantly greater in the O group (14 out of 53, 26.4%) than in the N group (two out of 36, 5.56%) (P = 0.012). Two patients in the O group had symptomatic cysts that required removal. Multivariate logistic analyses showed that the cyst formation risk significantly decreased after using the new all-inside suture device than the older all-inside suture devices (odds ratio = 0.139; P = 0.04).CONCLUSIONS:
The MRI-confirmed cyst formation rate after meniscal tear repair was significantly lower using the new than the older all-inside suture devices, indicating that the use of a low-profile device may decrease the cyst formation rate.Palabras clave
