Influence of Previous Arthroscopic Meniscectomy on Midterm to Long-term Outcomes After Medial Open-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy.

Background: Few studies have evaluated the clinical and radiological outcomes of medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) in patients who had previously undergone arthroscopic meniscectomy.

Purpose: To verify whether previous arthroscopic meniscectomy affects the clinical and radiological outcomes of MOWHTO.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Steep posterior lateral tibial slope, bone contusion on lateral compartments and combined medial collateral ligament injury are associated with the increased risk of lateral meniscal tear.

Purpose: To determine the risk factors for lateral meniscus and root tears in patients with acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries.

Methods: A total of 226 patients undergoing acute ACL reconstruction were included in the study sample. Exclusion criteria were revisions, fractures, chronic cases, and multiple ligament injuries, with the exception of medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries.
