Purpose Of Review: The management of horizontal cleavage meniscus tears (HCT) has evolved in recent years. Historically, HCTs have been treated with partial meniscectomy, but multiple studies have shown the long-term risks of development of arthritic changes in the knee following meniscectomy. These findings have renewed interest in meniscal preservation whenever possible, even in older patients not previously considered for meniscus repair.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful degenerative joint disease and a leading source of years lived with disability globally due to inadequate treatment options.

Purpose: Meniscal injuries in the knee are usually treated surgically with arthroscopic partial resection (APR) or arthroscopic repair (AR). APR has been shown to increase the risk of osteoarthritis and the focus has shifted to repairing the meniscus with AR. The extent of this shift is yet to be established and an analysis of incidence rates (IR) of APR and AR for meniscal injuries could highlight this.

Objective: Osteoarthritis (OA), a degenerative disease marked by cartilage erosion and synovial proliferation, has led to an increased interest in natural plant-based compounds to slow its progression. Pristimerin(Pri), a triterpenoid compound derived from Tripterygium wilfordii, has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant characteristics. This study explores the protective effects of Pri on OA and its potential mechanisms.
