Lateral meniscus posterior root repairs show superior healing, reduced meniscal extrusion and improved clinical outcomes compared to medial meniscus posterior root repairs: A systematic review.

Purpose: To systematically review and summarize the available literature on (1) postoperative healing rates, meniscal extrusion (ME) and clinical outcomes following lateral (LMPRR) versus medial (MMPRR) root repair and (2) potential correlations between residual ME and healing outcomes.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using the Scopus, PubMed and Embase databases. Clinical studies evaluating healing status on second-look arthroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after LMPRR and MMPRR were included.

[Evolution of blood loss in total knee prosthesis with blood recovery system vs conventional drainage].

Introduction: knee prosthetic surgery can be associated with significant blood loss that can account for up to 20% of blood volume. The objective of our study is to analyze blood loss (BL) after total knee replacement (TKR), with the use of a blood recovery system vs a normal drain.

Material And Methods: prospective, comparative, and observational study of two groups of 30 patients who underwent TKR, one control (CG) and another study group with a recovery system (RG).
