Outcomes of Inside-out Meniscal Repair in the Setting of Multiligament Reconstruction in the Knee:

Background:Limited evidence exists for meniscal repair outcomes in a multiligament reconstruction setting.Purpose/Hypothesis:The purpose of this study was to assess outcomes and failure rates of meniscal repair in patients who underwent multiligament reconstruction compared with patients who underwent multiligament reconstruction but lacked meniscal tears. The authors hypothesized that the outcomes of meniscal repair associated with concomitant multiligament reconstruction would significantly improve from preoperatively to postoperatively at a minimum of 2 years after the index surgery. Secondarily, they hypothesized that this cohort would demonstrate similar outcomes and failure rates compared with the cohort that did not have meniscal lesions at the time of multiligament reconstruction.Study Design:Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.Methods:Inclusion criteria for the study included radiographically confirmed skeletally mature patients of at least 16 years of age who underwent multiligamentous reconstruc...
