Abstract

Objectives: We evaluated the mid-term results of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy in patients with lateral meniscus cysts. Patients and methods: The study included 11 patients (7 women, 4 men; mean age 38 years; range 22 to 48 years) with a diagnosis of lateral meniscus cyst. Following lateral partial meniscectomy, the cyst was decompressed with the use of an arthroscopic shaver in patients with a connection to a meniscal tear. Functional capacity of the patients was evaluated by the Lysholm and Tegner scoring systems. All the patients were evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before and 34 months after surgery. The mean follow- up period was 35 months (range 5 to 72 months). Results: Complaints included pain in seven patients (64%), recurrent effusions in three patients (27%), and instability in one patient (9%). Seven patients (64%) had a history of trauma. On arthroscopic examination, meniscal tears were detected in 10 patients (91%). Complete type discoid meniscus was found in two patients (18%). In two patients with patellofemoral symptoms, arthroscopy showed grade 2 chondromalacia in the medial facet of the patella. The cysts were localized in the medial and anterior 1/3 of the lateral meniscus, with most of the tears being between the popliteus tendon and the lateral collateral ligament. Postoperatively, Lysholm and Tegner scores improved from 66.7 to 84.6 (p=0.03) and 2.3 to 7.8 (p=0.03), respectively. No recurrences were detected on control MRI scans. Conclusion: Meniscectomy of the meniscal tears and decompression of the cyst material are effective in the arthroscopic treatment of lateral meniscal cysts.

Özet

Amaç: Lateral menisküs kisti olan olgularda artroskopik parsiyel menisektominin orta dönem sonuçları değerlendirildi. Hastalar ve yöntemler: Çalışmaya lateral menisküs kisti tanısı konan 11 hasta (7 kadın, 4 erkek; ort. yaş 38; dağılım 22-48) alındı. Parsiyel lateral menisektomiyi takiben, yırtık-kist bağlantısı olan olgularda artroskopik shaver ile kist içine girilip dekompresyon uygulandı. Ameliyat öncesi ve kontrollerdeki fonksiyonel kapasite değerlendirmesinde Lysholm ve Tegner skorları kullanıldı. Tüm hastalar, ameliyat öncesi ve sonrası ortalama 34. ayda manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) ile değerlendirildi. Ortalama izlem süresi 35 ay (dağılım 5-72 ay) idi. Bulgular: Hastaların yedisi (%64) ağrıdan, biri (%9) instabiliteden, üçü (%27) ise tekrarlayan efüzyon ataklarından şikayetçiydi. Yedi hastada (%64) travma öyküsü vardı. Artroskopik incelemede 10 hastada (%91) menisküs yırtığı görüldü. İki hastada (%18) komplet tip diskoid lateral menisküs saptandı. Patellofemoral semptomları olan iki hastanın artroskopik değerlendirmesinde patella medial fasette derece 2 kondromalazi saptandı. Kistler lateral menisküsün orta ve anterior 1/3’ünde izlenirken, yırtıkların çoğu popliteus tendonu ile lateral kollateral ligament arasındaydı. Fonksiyonel kapasite değerlendirmesinde ortalama Lysholm skoru ameliyat öncesi 66.7’den ameliyat sonrası 84.6’ya (p=0.03); Tegner aktivite skoru ise 2.3’ten 7.8’e artış gösterdi (p=0.03). Kontrol MRG’de kistin tekrarlamasına ait bulguya rastlanmadı. Sonuç: Lateral menisküs kistlerinin artroskopik tedavisinde, yırtık için menisektomi ve kist içeriğinin dekompresyonu etkin bir sağaltım yöntemidir.
