Purpose: This study aims to compare the 2-year clinical outcomes of meniscal reconstructions using allograft versus autograft tissue, with a focus on patient-reported outcomes, complication rates and surgical revision rates.
Methods: This prospective comparative cohort study included 60 patients (ages 18-60 years) undergoing meniscal reconstruction. Patients were divided into an allograft group (n = 31) and an autograft group (n = 29; Hamstring tendon = 25 and patellar tendons = 4).
Article Synopsis
- A meta-analysis compared arthroscopic and open surgical methods for lateral epicondylitis, focusing on functional recovery, pain, complications, and return-to-work time, using data from 19 studies with over 20,000 participants.
- Results showed no significant differences in post-surgery recovery scores or complication rates between the two techniques, highlighting their comparable efficacy.
- However, arthroscopic surgery resulted in a shorter return-to-work time and a temporary improvement in grip strength six months post-operation.
Objective: Healthcare workers are continuously exposed to challenging environments, making them liable for poor mental health. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated this problem, however available data in Lebanon is scarce. We conducted this investigation to provide comprehensive evidence on the mental health of Lebanese healthcare workers.
