Degenerative tears or studies reporting meniscus repair outcomes on root repairs, revision or primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, discoid menisci or ramp lesions were excluded. All studies included revision surgery and\/or clinical symptoms as failure definitions. The overall medial meniscal repair failure rate was 26% with a 95% confidence interval (CI) [15%\u221237%]. The mean time to failure from isolated medial meniscus repair surgery was 27.7 months with 95% CI [18.5\u221236.9 months]. The postoperative Lysholm and IKDC scores were reported in three articles. At the final follow\u2010up, the mean postoperative Lysholm and IKDC scores were 92.3 with 95% CI [84.5\u2212100] and 88.6 with 95% CI [83.5\u221293.8], respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The current meta\u2010analysis revealed an overall failure rate of 26% in the case of medial meniscus repair in a stable knee. For these reasons, the patient should be aware of the substantial risk of revision surgery (one out of four cases). Medial meniscus repair in a stable knee yielded good clinical results.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Level of Evidence<\/jats:title><jats:p>Level
