Introduction: Meniscus extrusion in medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRT) is a consistent MRI finding and correction of extrusion is a primary objective of the meniscal root repair. The purpose of the study is to evaluate feasibility of correction of extrusion and correlation of various factors affecting the postoperative extrusion correction and outcomes in all degenerative medial meniscus posterior roots (MMPRTs).
Methods: A retrospective study of patients who presented with degenerative MMPRTs following trivial incident (Jun 2014 and Aug 2018) and included isolated Laprade type 2 root tear with extrusion in MRI.
Article Synopsis
- Open tibial fractures are complex injuries that present a challenge in deciding between limb amputation and salvage, and this study highlights the lack of research on this topic in developing countries, specifically India.
- The study involved 78 adult patients with severe open tibial fractures and aimed to compare the outcomes and costs associated with limb salvage versus above-knee and below-knee amputations.
- Results showed that limb salvage had better functional outcomes than both types of amputations, but it came with higher primary and secondary costs; however, patients who underwent limb salvage were more likely to return to work within 36 months post-injury.
