Abstract
|
|
|
|
Meniscus tear is one of the most common knee injuries. The increasing recognition of the importance of the meniscal function has led to a range of new treatments for meniscal tears. A complete radial tear disrupts the circumferential hoop tension of the meniscus. Therefore, restoring its natural architecture is of utmost importance. However, it is difficult to achieve meniscal healing of a complete radial tear due to its structural characteristics. We report five cases of a complete radial tear of the lateral meniscus treated successfully using a fibrin clot that showed good meniscal healing and excellent clinical outcomes.
