Abstract
Chondral injury after arthroscopic meniscal suture repair is rare. We present a case of chondral injury due to the migration of suture after meniscal repair. The aberrant suture that remained temporarily at the medial tibiofemoral joint may have led to the chondral lesion of the femoral medial condyle and the tibial medial plateau at the weight-bearing portion.
Highlights
Concerning the treatment of meniscal tears, partial menisectomy or meniscal suture repair are typically performed
We present a case of meniscal repair using meniscal sutures (Stryker meniscal repair kit) that resulted in a chondral injury of the femoral medial condyle and the tibial medial plateau
Arthroscopy revealed a reconstructed Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), a tear in the posterior third of the medial meniscus, new synovial plicae, and one suture that was used to repair the lateral meniscus in the suprapatellar pouch
Summary
Concerning the treatment of meniscal tears, partial menisectomy or meniscal suture repair are typically performed. Chondral injury due to the migration of sutures after meniscal repair is rare. We present a case of meniscal repair using meniscal sutures (Stryker meniscal repair kit) that resulted in a chondral injury of the femoral medial condyle and the tibial medial plateau. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed a reconstructed ACL and medial meniscus tear and synovial plica in the suprapatellar pouch
