Repairable tear morphologies included longitudinal vertical, bucket\u2010handle, radial, horizontal cleavage, complex, ramp and root tears. Patients undergoing revision meniscal repair, previous ipsilateral meniscal repair or transplantation, treatment of discoid meniscus, repair of degenerative root tears associated with advanced osteoarthritis, concomitant corrective osteotomy or arthroplasty or with insufficient operative or follow\u2010up data were excluded. Meniscal characteristics included tear morphology, laterality, vascular zone and intraoperatively assessed tissue quality based on structural integrity, macroscopic degeneration and suture\u2010holding capacity. Repair\u2010related variables included repair technique (all\u2010inside, inside\u2010out or hybrid), number of fixation sutures, suture density and concomitant anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Repair failure was defined as subsequent ipsilateral meniscal reoperation. Kaplan\u2013Meier analysis and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression were used to evaluate repair survival and independent predictors of failure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      During a median follow\u2010up of 45 months, 81 patients (16.2%) underwent reoperation. Five\u2010year repair survivorship was 82.6%. Although repair survival differed among tear morphologies in univariable analysis (log\u2010rank\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.012), tear morphology was no longer independently associated with failure after multivariable adjustment. Independent predictors of failure included medial meniscal repair (hazard ratio [HR] 2.18), poor tissue quality (HR 2.74), avascular tear location (HR 1.89), lower suture density (HR 0.71 per additional suture\/cm) and absence of concomitant anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (HR 1.67). Addition of tear morphology to the clinical prediction model produced only a modest improvement in discrimination (Harrell's C\u2010index 0.782 vs. 0.794) and minimal improvement in calibration.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Meniscal tear morphology demonstrated limited independent prognostic value after adjustment for patient\u2010, lesion\u2010 and procedure\u2010related characteristics. Prognosis after arthroscopic meniscal repair appears to depend more strongly on the biological and mechanical context of the reparable meniscus than on tear configuration alone. Clinical decision\u2010making should therefore move beyond descriptive tear classification toward comprehensive contextual assessment integrating tissue quality, vascularity, meniscal laterality and repair\u2010related factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Level of Evidence<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Level III.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jeo2.70947","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,9]],"date-time":"2026-10-09T21:51:59Z","timestamp":1791582719000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Does meniscal tear morphology independently predict repair failure?
