The following 30\u2010day complications were assessed: pulmonary embolism (PE), venous thromboembolism (VTE), surgical site infection (SSI), reoperation, and readmission. Complications rates between treatment groups were compared using multivariate logistic regression analyses adjusted for sex, age, steroid use, and smoking\/dyspnoea\/COPD.

Complication rates were\u2009&lt;\u20091% for both meniscus repair and meniscectomy. Meniscus repair was associated with significantly higher rates of PE, VTE, and readmission compared to meniscectomy: PE (0.2% vs 0.1%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), VTE (0.8% vs 0.4%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), superficial SSI (0.1% vs 0.2%, n.s), deep SSI (0.07% vs 0.1%, n.s), reoperation (0.5% vs 0.4%, n.s), and readmission (0.9% vs 0.8%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.003). Among patients aged\u2009&gt;\u200940 years, complication rates were\u2009&lt;\u20091.3% for both meniscus repair and meniscectomy. Similar trends and rates were found in patients aged\u2009&gt;\u200940 years undergoing meniscus repair versus meniscectomy: PE (0.38% vs 0.12%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), VTE (1.07% vs 0.46%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), superficial SSI (0.03% vs 0.19%, n.s), deep SSI (0.1% vs 0.06%, n.s), reoperation (0.48% vs 0.43%, n.s), and readmission (1.2% vs 0.85%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.01).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Arthroscopic meniscus repair and meniscectomy are both low\u2010risk procedures with 30\u2010day complication rates\u2009&lt;\u20091% overall and\u2009&lt;\u20091.3% among patients aged\u2009&gt;\u200940 years. These findings support meniscus repair whenever feasible in the setting of preserved articular cartilage. Understanding of the short\u2010term complication rates after arthroscopic meniscus repair and meniscectomy can aid surgeons in providing comprehensive preoperative counselling to patients considering such treatments, specifically when discussing the risks and benefits of meniscus repair.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Level of evidence<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>III.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-023-07507-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,14]],"date-time":"2023-07-14T00:02:05Z","timestamp":1689292925000},"page":"4117-4123","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Low early complication rates after arthroscopic meniscus repair and meniscectomy"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Wilson C.","family":"Lai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Department of Orthopaedic Surgery UCI Health 101 The City Drive S.
