New strategies of meniscal tears management: A review study

The incidence of meniscal tear injuries is rising, predominately due to the sporting activities of young adults. There are different methods in orthopedics of meniscal tear management. An Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy (APM) is the most practiced orthopedic procedure globally. However, recent literature reported serious concerns about its positive outcome. Meniscal repair is another recommended technique and growing rapidly due to its less incision requirement. Partial Meniscal implant is a modern management strategy with the excellent outcomes but still required further large-scale research.

Concluding to the modern strategies of meniscus tear management “Save the meniscus!” is the emerging approach. This review critically analyzed the most adapted management strategies of meniscal tear and the emerging ones.
