Objective: To study the clinical effects of menisci reformation and repair for the treatment of discoid meniscus injuries and to explore the operation methods.
Methods: From Jun. 2005 to Dem. 2009, 28 patients underwent arthroscopic menisci reformation and repair for discoid meniscus, including 23 males and 5 females, ranging in age from 6 to 42 years, with an average of 32 years. The nature of meniscus and the type and range of tear were judged under arthroscope. The menisci reformation and repair were used to treat discoid meniscus tear at the edge. After the operation, the brace was used for 8 weeks, and heavy exercise should be avoided for 6 months. The Lysholm score was adopted to evaluate therapeutic effects.
Results: All the patients were followed up ranging from 3 to 36 months, averaged 8 months. The preoperative Lysholm scores ranged from 62 to 74, with a mean of (67.23 +/- 5.24), and the postoperative Lysholm scores ranged from 80 to 96, with a mean of (87.24 +/- 5.26). There was no occurrence of re-tear or re-operation due to symptom recurrence.
Conclusion: The menisci reformation and repair has better clinical effects on the treatment of discoid meniscus tear and can be regarded as one of the operational options.

Osteoarthritis (OA), a joint disease, burdens global healthcare due to aging and obesity. Recent studies show that extracellular vesicles (EVs) from bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) contribute to joint homeostasis and OA management. However, the impact of donor age on BMSC-derived EV efficacy remains underexplored.

Article Synopsis
- * A network meta-analysis was conducted using data from 19 randomized controlled trials, adhering to strict guidelines and examining various patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) relating to treatment effectiveness.
- * The findings indicated no significant differences in PROMs among the treatment techniques, although microfracture treatments showed potentially lower failure and reoperation rates; however, the variability in safety reporting across trials

Background: Congenital absence of the menisci is a rare anatomical variation characterized by the absence or underdevelopment of one or both menisci in the knee joint. The menisci are crucial in load distribution, joint stability, and shock absorption. Understanding the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of this condition is important for optimal patient care.

Background: No investigations have thoroughly explored the feasibility of combining magnetic resonance (MR) images and deep-learning methods for predicting the progression of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). We thus aimed to develop a potential deep-learning model for predicting OA progression based on MR images for the clinical setting.
Methods: A longitudinal case-control study was performed using data from the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH), composed of progressive cases [182 osteoarthritis (OA) knees with both radiographic and pain progression for 24-48 months] and matched controls (182 OA knees not meeting the case definition).

Background: The importance of meniscal repair is widely accepted because of the association of loss of meniscal tissue with the development of early-onset knee arthritis. Many factors influencing the results of meniscal repair have been reported, but results remain controversial.
Purpose: This meta-analysis determines the pooled meniscal repair failure rate of studies with a minimum follow-up of 2 years up to 5 years, with a mean follow-up of 43 months.
