Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e34995. [PMID: 37986335 PMCID: PMC10659740 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000034995] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 08/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Meniscus suture is an important treatment method for meniscus injury and contributes to the preservation of proprioception, restoration of knee biomechanics and alleviation of progressive osteoarthritis. However, there are few visualized analyses concerning the present studies of meniscus suture. This paper aims to evaluate the global trends, highlights and frontiers of meniscus suture. A bibliometric analysis was conducted based on the results of studies related to meniscus suture from web of science core collection. VOSviewer, GraphPad Prism, Microsoft Excel and R-bibliometrix were utilized for the bibliometric analysis of country and institution distribution, chronological distribution, source journals analysis, prolific authors and institutions analysis, keywords analysis, and reference co-citation analysis. A total of 950 publications on meniscus suture from 177 different sources were retrieved over the set time span. These publications were completed by 3177 authors from 1112 institutions in 54 countries. The United States was the most prolific country with 7960 citations and 348 publications (36.63%). Furumatsu Takayuki acted as the most prolific author (51 publications), while Robert F LaPrade with 1398 citations was the most-cited author. And more papers were published in the core journals, including American Journal of Sports Medicine, Arthroscopy-The Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery, Knee Surgery Sports Traumatology Arthroscopy and Arthroscopy Techniques. Furthermore, "meniscus healing," "meniscus root tear" seem to be the emerging research hotspots. Notably, the publication trend concerning the all-inside suture technique has been rising during the past decade. The number of research publications on meniscus suture has been continuously risen since 2010. The authors, publications and institutions from the United States and East Asia were still the mainstays in this field. And the all-inside suture may become the mainstream surgical technique in the future, with meniscus healing and meniscus root tears being research highlights recently.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There are no meta-analytical data in the long term for comparing surgery and exercise for meniscal tear. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of exercise versus arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) plus exercise for degenerative meniscal tears (DMT) in knee function at 5-year follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic search of Medline, EMBASE, Web of Science, SciELO, SPORTDiscus, Scopus, and Cochrane Library was performed. The studies were included if they were randomized controlled trials performed in patients aged ≥ 18 years with DMT, that compared physical therapy to APM at 5-year follow-up, and reported at least one outcome measure of knee function/disability. Risk of bias was analyzed with the Cochrane RoB-2 tool and certainty of evidence with GRADE recommendations. A random effects model meta-analysis was performed. RESULTS 3743 articles were identified and 4 met the criteria. Three had low risk of bias and one had some concerns. There were no significant between-group differences, in within-group changes from baseline to 5-year, on the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score pain (- 2.28; 95% CI - 5.41 to 0.84), symptoms (- 0.24; 95% CI - 4.13 to 3.64), activities of daily living (- 2.16; 95% CI - 6.16 to 1.83) and quality of life (- 3.98; 95% CI - 9.05 to 1.10). There was a significant difference in support of APM plus exercise for sport/recreation (- 9.28; 95% CI - 18.28 to - 0.29). Leave-one-out sensitivity analysis revealed a non-significant difference in sport/recreation (- 5.05; 95% CI - 12.04 to 1.94). There were no differences in other patient-reported outcome measures. CONCLUSION Moderate certainty of evidence suggests that the addition of APM to an exercise program adds no benefits in knee function at 5-year follow-up.

Abstract
PURPOSE Arthroscopic meniscectomy (APM) is the most common procedure in orthopedic surgery, despite increasing evidence questioning its benefit over conservative management for treatment of degenerative meniscal tears. The purpose of this study is to determine the epidemiology and trends of APM in Saskatchewan, a Canadian province, over a 20 year period. METHODS Physician billing codes were used to identify patients who underwent APM in Saskatchewan between January 1, 1998 and December 31, 2017. Records were obtained from eHealth Saskatchewan, a provincial health database. Data was analyzed for overall incidence and age-specific trends of APM. RESULTS A total of 35,099 APMs were performed during the study period. The population of Saskatchewan ranged from 992,314 to 1,150,782 (median 1,017,368) during this time interval, with 81 orthopedic surgeons performing APM. Overall incidence rate of APM did not change significantly over time. No decrease was observed in patients presumed to have degenerative tears (≥ 50 years). The number of meniscectomies in patients ≥ 50 years was significantly greater during the second decade of study compared to the first (OR 1.48, p < 0.01). Conversely, the increase in incidence rate among older patients was not statistically significant (R2 = 0.125, n.s.). CONCLUSION Overall incidence rate of APM in Saskatchewan has not decreased during the last 20 years. Furthermore, APM frequency increased over time for individuals ≥ 50 years. Several regional factors may have contributed to these findings, including the large proportion of Saskatchewan residents engaged in physically demanding work and barriers to accessing physiotherapy services. Given recent evidence disputing the benefit of APM over conservative measures, this study highlights the need for improved dissemination of evidence, as well as the importance of an individualized treatment plan to address patient-specific factors. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV.

Preoperative Predictors of Prolonged Hospital Stay in Accelerated Rehabilitation for Patients Undergoing Orthopedic Surgery. Bioinorg Chem Appl 2021; 2021:7832216. [PMID: 34840558 PMCID: PMC8626200 DOI: 10.1155/2021/7832216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2021] [Revised: 09/25/2021] [Accepted: 10/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, we performed a retrospective and prospective study of preoperative predictors of the length of stay (LOS) in three groups of surgical patients and conducted a clinical retrospective study of the current research status of preoperative predictors of LOS prolongation in three groups of patients under ERAS (enhanced recovery after surgery) mode, such as patient characteristics and comorbidities. Information such as patients' exercise preferences, exercise time, frequency and duration, footwear, location of knee osteoarthritis, whether there is a past history of knee injury, and smoking and drinking history was collected, and the research data of 312 patients undergoing the three operations were analyzed by SPSS. Meniscal injury-knee arthroscopy sample included a total of 104 people. Surgical sample for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction included a total of 100 subjects. Knee osteoarthritis-knee replacement surgery sample included 148 people who were divided into two groups in a ratio of 1 : 1: one group used Mailuo Shutong pills during hospitalization (intervention group) and the other group did not (control group). The research conclusions are as follows. Meniscal Knee Arthroscopy. (1) Samples from different causes of injury showed significant differences for all injured sites. (2) Samples with different smoking and drinking histories all showed significant differences for the causes of injury. (3) Exercise hobby, exercise frequency, duration of each exercise and duration of exercise, and warm-up time before exercise all showed positive correlation. Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Surgery. (4) Samples from different causes of injury showed significant differences for all the injured sites. (5) Age has a significant negative influence on the wearing of shoes at ordinary times. (6) Exercise hobby: the warm-up time before exercise had a significant negative influence on the injured area. (7) Two groups of analysis items of exercise frequency, exercise duration and exercise duration, preexercise warm-up time, and exercise hobby were typically positively correlated. Total Knee Arthroplasty. (8) There was a significant difference of 0.01 between the hospitalization days of the intervention group and the control group (p < 0.01), and the hospitalization days of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group. These results indicated that Mailuo Shutong pills were of great significance for the treatment of orthopedic patients during the operation period in that it could effectively shorten the hospital stay of all orthopedic patients and strengthen the accelerated rehabilitation. (9) There was a significant positive correlation between the history of knee joint surgery and the use time of Mailuo Shutong pills. (10) There was a markable positive correlation between occupation and sports hobbies, sports time, frequency and duration, and footwear. There was a significant negative correlation between occupation and preexercise warm-up. (11) Exercise time, frequency, and duration have significant positive influence on BMI.

Abstract
Injuries to menisci are the most common disease among knee joint-related morbidities and cover a widespread population ranging from children and the general population to the old and athletes. Repair of the injuries in the meniscal avascular zone remains a significant challenge due to the limited intrinsic healing capacity compared to the peripheral vascularized zone. The current surgical strategies for avascular zone injuries remain insufficient to prevent the development of cartilage degeneration and the ultimate emergence of osteoarthritis (OA). Due to the drawbacks of current surgical methods, the research interest has been transferred toward facilitating meniscal avascular zone repair, where it is expected to maintain meniscal tissue integrity, prevent secondary cartilage degeneration and improve knee joint function, which is consistent with the current prevailing management idea to maintain the integrity of meniscal tissue whenever possible. Biological augmentations have emerged as an alternative to current surgical methods for meniscal avascular zone repair. However, understanding the specific biological mechanisms that affect meniscal avascular zone repair is critical for the development of novel and comprehensive biological augmentations. For this reason, this review firstly summarized the current surgical techniques, including meniscectomies and meniscal substitution. We then discuss the state-of-the-art biological mechanisms, including vascularization, inflammation, extracellular matrix degradation and cellular component that were associated with meniscal avascular zone healing and the advances in therapeutic strategies. Finally, perspectives for the future biological augmentations for meniscal avascular zone injuries will be given.
