ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to review the published clinical outcomes of meniscal repair using the FasT-Fix device comparing standard rehabilitation program to an accelerated rehabilitation protocol. A review of the Medline database was performed involving searches for clinical outcomes of all-inside meniscus repair performed with the FasT-Fix device. Eight studies were identified for inclusion. On the basis of the clinical outcomes of these studies, there appears to be no notable difference between an accelerated rehabilitation regimen with full weight bearing allowed as soon as tolerated and a standard postoperative rehabilitation program. Failure rate was 13 % for patients following an accelerated rehabilitation regimen, and 10 % for standard protocol. Accelerated rehabilitation after all-inside meniscal repair using the FasT-Fix device appears to be safe, and the incidence of retears is in line with those reported for standard rehabilitation protocol.
