编辑评论:根部修复的成败取决于其愈合:早期负重需谨慎
简介
一篇社论指出,内侧半月板后根部修复的临床价值取决于能否实现足以恢复环周应力传导的生物学愈合。近期一项系统综述中,术后≤4周早期部分负重与超过30%的患者愈合不全或未愈合相关,所有纳入研究均见骨关节炎进展,并伴持续半月板外突、患者报告结局改善不一及短期再手术率最高达8.8%。但该综述不能确立因果关系,因部分负重方案异质、量化不足且控制不完整;在缺乏更强对照证据…
英文摘要
The clinical value of medial meniscus posterior root repair depends on biologic healing sufficient to restore hoop-stress transmission. Recent systematic review studying early partial weight-bearing (≤4 weeks) was associated with incomplete or absent healing in over 30% of patients, progression of osteoarthritis in all included studies, persistent meniscal extrusion, variable patient-reported outcome improvement, and reoperation rates of up to 8.8% at short-term follow-up. These findings do not establish causation, particularly because partial weight-bearing protocols were heterogeneous, poorly quantified, and incompletely controlled. However, they raise an important clinical concern: in the absence of stronger comparative evidence, routine early partial weight-bearing after medial meniscus posterior root repair should be approached with caution.
