ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the long-term outcomes of a specific knee surgery called meniscal suturing, which is used to repair tears in the knee's cartilage (the meniscus). Instead of removing the damaged part of the meniscus, which can lead to problems later, this trial looks at how effective it is to stitch the tear without a certain preparation step (called avivement). Researchers want to see how well these stitches hold up over a period of more than 10 years.

To be eligible for this study, participants need to be adults aged 18 or older who had knee surgery at a specific hospital between January 2011 and June 2013. They should have had a meniscal tear that was repaired with stitches, whether or not they also had a procedure on a ligament in the knee. Participants will be asked about their past surgeries and their experiences to help researchers understand the long-lasting effects of this treatment. This trial is important because it aims to provide more evidence on the effectiveness of meniscal suturing, which could change how knee injuries are treated in the future.
