Comparison of clinical efficacy of arthroscopy on symptomatic discoid and non-discoid lateral menisci in adolescents
Objective To compare and analyze the knee function and clinical prognosis of symptomatic discoid lateral meniscus(DLM)and non-DLM treated with arthroscopically in adolescent patients.Methods A total of 47 adolescent patients treated with arthroscopy in our hospital from 2015 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into the DLM group(20 cases)and the non-DLM group(27 cases)according to whether they had DLM.The clinical features,type of surgery,and scores of the International Knee Documentation Committee(IKDC)and Physical Activity Questionnaire(PAQ)at six months,one year,and two years after surgery were compared between the two groups.Results The age and body mass index of the DLM group were lower than those of the non-DML group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).IK-DC and PAQ scores of patients in two groups were significantly improved six months after surgery,one year and two years after surgery,with statistical significance(P＜0.05),but there was no statistical significance in IKDC and PAQ scores between two groups at each time point(P＞0.05).There were no significant differ-ences in IKDC and PAQ scores among patients with different gender,age and type of surgery(P＞0.05).Con-clusion Arthroscopic surgery can effectively improve the knee function of DLM and non-DLM patients,but gender,type of surgery,age do not affect the knee function and physical recovery.
