Chris O’Grady, M.D Update on Treatment of Meniscal Injuries Basic Clinical Future Science • Presentation • Biologics • Anatomy • Diagnosis • PRP • Biomechanics • Treatment • Stem Cells • Rehabilitation 2 Function --joint filler (incongruous condyles) -2.5 greater contact area when mensicus present -prevent capsular/ synovial impingement -joint lubrication/ synovial distribution -load (40-60% of standing load -stability (esp. rotatory) 3 Function Medial Meniscus Lateral Meniscus Secondary stabilizer to AP 200-300% increase in translation in ACL deficient lateral compartment knee contact stresses when (more capsular attachment) removed (convex lateral Follows tibia- more likely to plateau) be torn with rotatory force 4 Radin et al., CORR, 1984 - Load transmission increases in flexion vs ext 5 Fukubayashi et al. 1980 Anatomy Histo: Fibrocartilage Composition Water 65%-75% Organic matter 25%-35% 75% Collagen Type I – 90% Types II, III,IV, V, VI, XVIII 25% Other Proteoglycans, DNA, Elastin 7 Anatomy Triangular cross section Provide structural integrity “concavity” of the articulation Dissipates forces/friction across medial/lateral compartments Axial Compression Horizontal hoop stress Creates shear forces 8 Anatomy Structure Mesh network: Arranged obliquely, radially, and vertically Prevents shear Bundles: Radial Located at surface and midsubtance Prevent longitudinal tears Circumferential Disperses compressive loads (hoops around wooden barrel) Anatomy Medial Meniscus C-Shaped structure Less mobile Firmly attached to capsule Deep MCL at mid body Posterior fibers of anterior horn merge with transverse ligament Periphery of meniscus attached to capsule through coronary ligaments Medial Meniscus Wider in diameter than the lateral meniscus 9-10 mm wide 3-5 mm thick Covers 51-74% of condyle Lateral Meniscus Semi-circular in shape More mobility Less peripheral attachments Popliteal Hiatus Anterior and posterior horns attach closer to each other than medial meniscus Anterior horn attaches adjacent to ACL Posterior horn attaches behind inter-condylar eminence Lateral Meniscus Covers more tibia 75-93% of condyle 12-13 mm wide 3-5 mm thick Meniscofemoral ligaments Humphrey & Wrisberg Run from posterior horn of lateral meniscus to medial femoral condyle Major Role Stabilize PH of Lateral Meniscus Minor role Stabilizing posterior tibial translation with compromised PCL 14 Humphrey – Sag MRI Anterior to PCL 15 Discoid Meniscus Incidence of 3.5-5% Usually lateral, but 20% bilateral 16 Discoid Meniscus Type I-Complete Type II-Incomplete Type III-Wrisberg subtype Watanabe Classification 17 Blood Supply PeriMeniscal Capillary Pleux 18 Blood Supply 50-100% of meniscus vascular at birth 9 months: Inner 1/3 rd avascular By age 10: Mature Peripheral 10-25% of lateral vascular Peripheral 10-30% of medial vascular Inner 2/3rds by synovial fluid diffusion 19 Arnoczky et al AJSM 1982 20 Vascularity Zones Red-Red Fully vascular Excellent healing potential Red-White Border of vascular supply Good healing potential White-White Relatively avascular Poor healing prognosis Cannon et al, Basic Clinical Future Science • Presentation •

Treatment • Stem Cells • Rehabilitation 24 History Mechanism Twisting, change in direction, or hyper-flexion injury Feeling a “pop” Acute pain or swelling Slow-forming effusion Locking/catching sensation Degenerative tears(>40) often more atraumatic with a chronic history Postmenisectomy syndrome – “toothache pain” after menisectomy 25 Physical Exam Inspection Mild to moderate joint effusion Usually no ecchymosis Limb alignment ROM Typically normal However, longitudinal bucket handle tears may block full extension Stability Associated ligamentous injury Physical Exam Palpation Joint line

Cupping Hypoplastic 33 Imaging MRI: Diagnostic procedure of choice 95% accuracy High NPV Grading system 0, I, II, III Grade III consistent with complete tear Arthroscopy still gold standard Look for condylar edema (increased contact pressure on condyle when meniscus torn) 34 MRI Grading 0: normal I: globular increase in signal with no extension to surface II: near signal increase that does not extend to surface III: increased signal that abuts the freed edge of meniscus Indicates tear 35 Discoid Meniscus – Bow Tie Sign 3 or more 5mm cuts with continuity of meniscus 36 MRI Complex tear

Options RICE Wt Loss Bracing (unloader) Injections Physical Therapy ROM Strengthening NSAIDs 48 Surgical Options 1. Leave alone 2. Meniscectomy Promote healing only surgical morbidity and improves function Stable contoured rim Preserve as much tissue as possible Long-term risks? 3. Meniscal repair 4. Meniscal transplant Ideal treatment for the ideal Symptomatic patient too young situation for a TKA Vertical mattress sutures gold standard 1. Leave alone… Stable partial tears Leave tourniquet down to Stable longitudinal tears assess bleeding: < 10 mm length Rasping < 3-5 mm displacement Trephination Do not displace into notch Marrow stimulation, PRP, etc. Do not touch femoral condyle Enhance biologic healing response E.g. notch microfx Degenerative tears with significant OA Short radial tears: < 3 mm in length 50 2.
