Pediatric patients had 11% complication rate 8 months after arthroscopic meniscus repair
According to a recent study published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine, pediatric patients who underwent arthroscopic meniscus repair had an 11% complication rate eight months after the procedure. The study analyzed 70 pediatric patients who underwent the procedure and found that the most common complications were re-tears and a lack of knee function improvement. The study highlights the importance of careful consideration when deciding to perform arthroscopic meniscus repair in pediatric patients, and the need for continued monitoring after the procedure.
