They all had an ACL lesion, combined in 26 cases with a MCL tear. These injuries were reconstructed or sutured during the same session as the meniscus repairs. Approximately 1 year later, meniscal healing was proven arthroscopically in 20 and the other 8 had no clinical signs of meniscal rerupture. All patients were reexamined between 6 to 8 years after the initial repair. Instrumented stability testing, the Lysholm knee function score and an activity score (Tegner) were used. The patients' subjective evalua tions were also recorded.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>In spite of the previous reconstruction, all knees were quite unstable (mean +5 mm increased laxity compared with the uninjured side). At followup, 3 of the 28 re paired menisci (11%) had reruptured in connection with a minor trauma during sports or daily activity. The knee function score averaged 88 points, the activity level dropped 2 steps compared with activities before injury (from 7 to 5). Twenty patients were satisfied with the results, 5 partly satisfied, and 3 not satisfied.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>A healed meniscal tear has a good chance of survival in an unstable knee. The most critical period of meniscal repair probably lies in the healing period just after surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/036354658901700204","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,21]],"date-time":"2007-06-21T20:46:52Z","timestamp":1182458812000},"page":"161-163","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Healed meniscal tears in unstable knees"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Karola","family":"Sommerlath","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University Hospital, Link\u00f6ping, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Per","family":"Hamberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University Hospital, Link\u00f6ping, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1989,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","unstructured":"Appel H.: Late results after meniscectomy in the knee joint.
