Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) lesions and osteochondral lesions according to type and localization of the meniscal tear and age, gender in patients who have been arthroscopicaly treated, besides, to make the coexisting lesions more predictable in these patients.Methods: We retrospectively investigated 352 patients under 50 years of age who underwent surgery for a meniscal tear between 2008 and 2012. We scanned the surgical operation notes, preoperative questionnaires and the magnetic resonance imaging findings. We recorded patients who had ACL lesions, such as elongation, partial rupture and total rupture. Osteochondral lesions were classified according to the Outerbridge classification from grade 1 to grade 4.Results: Chondral lesions were present in 77.4% of patients with degenerative meniscal tears and in 63% of patients with radial meniscal tears. One the other hand, osteochondral lesions were observed in only 33.9% of patients with other types of meniscal tears. 46.6% of ACL lesions accompanied by meniscal tears with longitudinal pattern, such as longitudinal tears, bucket handle tears and root tears. For the other types of meniscal tears, this percentage was 20.7. When we excluded degenerative type meniscal tears, the mean age of the patients with radial tears was 40.86±9.03 years and the mean age of the patients with other types of tear was 35.44±9.44 years. The difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: osteoarthritic chondral lesions and radial tears in the root of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. On the other side, longitudinal tears were related with ACL lesions.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, menisküs yırtığı nedeniyle artroskopik olarak tedavi ettiğimiz hastalarda yaş, cinsiyet, yırtık tipi ve yerleşimine göre ön çapraz bağ (ÖÇB) lezyonu ve kıkırdak lezyonu insidansını incelemek ve bu hastalarda ek patolojileri önceden tahmin edilebilir hale getirmektir.Yöntemler: 2008-2012 yılları arasında kliniğimizde menisküs yırtığı nedeniyle artroskopik olarak ameliyat edilen 50 yaş altındaki 351 hasta retrospektif olarak incelendi. Preoperatif doldurulan anket formları, MRI raporları ve ameliyat notları tarandı. Ön çapraz bağında elongasyon, parsiyel yırtık ve total yırtık olan hastalar kaydedildi. Outerbridge sınıflamasına göre kıkırdak lezyonları grade 1'den grade 4'e kadar sınıflandırıldı. Ameliyat notları taranarak yırtık tipi ve yerleşimi kaydedildi. Bulgular: Dejenere yırtığı olan hastaların %77,4'ünde, radial yırtığı olan hastaların %63,6'sında kıkırdak hasarı görülürken diğer yırtık tiplerinde bu oran %33,9 olarak bulundu. Kova sapı, longitudinal, kök yırtığı gibi longitudinal paterni olan yırtık tiplerine %46,6 oranında ÖÇB lezyonu eşlik etmekte iken diğer yırtık tiplerinde bu oran %20,7 olarak saptandı. Dejenere yırtıklar hesaba katılmadığında radial yırtığı olan hastaların yaş ortalaması (40,86±9,03) diğer yırtık tiplerine sahip hasta grubunun yaş ortalamasından (35,44±9,44) anlamlı derecede yüksekti. Sonuç: Longitudinal tip menisküs yırtıkları ÖÇB lezyonu ile yakından ilişkili iken, medial menisküs posterior kökündeki radyal tip yırtıklar osteoartritik kıkırdak lezyonları ile yakından ilişkilidir.
