NICHOLAS COLYVAS: This is Dr. Nicholas Colyvas. I am Clinical Professor at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at UCSF. This is a case of a complex medial meniscus tear and its repair. The patient is a 47-year-old chiropractor who is very active, trail running, swimming and biking. He had a fall off a mountain bike, twisted his knee and sustained this injury.
NICHOLAS COLYVAS: He's not overweight, has a good, stable knee, normal alignment, and the x-rays were unremarkable. Looking at further imaging with an MRI, the medial meniscus shows a tear. This looks to be intra substance, possibly a meniscus capsular separation as well. Seen here on the sagittal view and on the coronal view, some more complex tear plane also noted. At the medial meniscus
NICHOLAS COLYVAS: no extrusion here. On the sagittal view, the tear did appear to extend towards the root somewhat. In the post repair arthroscopic views, the meniscus was repaired with multiple sutures, restoring its anatomy largely and repairing the horizontal cleavage tear with good compression with the sutures. After surgery, the patient underwent a rehab protocol for meniscus repair and at six months was able to return to all his sports.
NICHOLAS COLYVAS: He was seen post-operatively at two years, he's doing very well with no pain and full return to activities. [VIDEO ENDS]
