Trends in meniscus surgery
1989
: Meniscus surgery underwent a change in methods by the development of arthroscopy. Nowadays it must be recommended to take off not more from the damaged meniscus than necessarily determined by pathological findings. The refixation of bucket handle tears close to the fibrous capsule is worthwhile, having a success rate of about 90%. After refixation we recommend no immobilization, but a functional treatment within a limited range of motion (20 degrees-50 degrees) and restriction of load for 8-12 weeks.
