Abstract

Proper treatment of meniscal pathology in the face of cruciate ligament insufficiency depends on a full understanding of the clinical syndromes associated with both problems. The individual who presents primarily with locking and whose lifestyle puts low demands on the cruciate-deficient knee may be treated with isolated meniscal procedures, either repair or excision as indicated. Those individuals with instability as a primary clinical syndrome must have their treatment directed at the cruciate ligaments as well as appropriate concomitant meniscal surgery. Verf.-Referat
