The science and surgery of the meniscus have evolved significantly over time. Surgeons and scientists always enjoy looking forward to novel therapies. However, as part of the ongoing effort at optimizing interventions and outcomes, it may also be useful to reflect on important milestones from the past. The aim of the present manuscript was to explore the history of meniscal surgery across the ages, from ancient times to the twenty-first century. Herein, some of the investigations of the pioneers in orthopaedics are described, to underline how their work has influenced the management of the injured meniscus in modern times. Level of evidence V.

Association Between Patient Characteristics and the Depth of Microvascular Penetration Into the Adult Human Meniscus.
Am J Sports Med
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedics, Isala Hospital, Zwolle, The Netherlands.
Background: Current knowledge on the microvascular anatomy of adult human menisci is based on cadaveric studies. However, considerable interindividual variation in meniscal microvascularization has been reported in recent studies with small sample sizes.
Purpose: To assess the association between patient characteristics and the depth of microvascularization of the meniscus.

Introduction: Chronic low back pain (CLBP), or low back pain lasting greater than 12 weeks, is a prevalent condition that profoundly impacts the quality of life in affected individuals. Traditional treatments - such as physical therapy, medications, injections, minimally invasive procedures, and surgery - often prove ineffective in a considerable number of cases, particularly when utilized as singular modalities. Given the complex biopsychosocial nature of CLBP, a multi-modality approach tailored to each patients' unique needs is essential.

Ivy Hospital, Mohali, Punjab India.
Objective: This study aims to enhance our understanding of the morphological pattern, causes and pathogenesis of meniscal root injuries in the Indian population.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-four patients with meniscus root tears were included in the study. The patients were categorized into two groups based on the location of the meniscus tear: Group 1 ( = 41) comprised patients with lateral meniscus root injury (LMRI), and Group 2 ( = 23) included patients with medial meniscus root injury (MMRI).

Introduction: Patellar instability is a multifactorial pathology requiring precise evaluation of its contributing factors, particularly patella alta. Patellotibial height measurement indexes, such as the Caton-Deschamps index, have the disadvantage of being referenced to the tibia. Patellotrochlear indexes are more appropriate but fail to account for variable knee flexion during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

: This study compared diagnostic methods for meniscal ramp injury (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], arthrotomography, and arthroscopy) to determine the most sensitive and the agreement level between them. We studied 21 patients, all young athletes with suspected anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury after trauma for at least 3 months and no evidence or history of other osteoarticular injuries in the knee. The patients underwent MRI and arthrotomography.
