Abstract
This letter addresses the recent study by Zhu et al on the predictive factors for coronal and sagittal graft extrusion length following medial meniscus reconstruction using tendon autografts. The study provides valuable insights into the importance of preoperative joint space width and tunnel positioning as predictors of graft extrusion. Specifically, it found strong correlations between preoperative joint space width and medial, posterior, and mean graft extrusion at both 1 week and 8 months post-operation. Additionally, tunnel edge distance at 1 week post-operation correlated with anterior and posterior graft extrusion. These findings offer critical guidance for improving surgical outcomes. However, the letter highlights the need for further research with larger sample sizes and comparative studies involving different graft types to strengthen these findings and broaden their applicability in clinical settings. The study's contributions to understanding meniscus reconstruction using tendon autografts are acknowledged, along with suggestions for future research directions.
