Abstract des Autors

The literature indicates that most existing rehabilitation protocols for meniscal repair are restrictive. At present there is no consensus regarding the ideal rehabilitation program following meniscal repair. This article presents the clinical results of isolated meniscal repair performed using the author's technique, followed by an accelerated rehabilitation program consisting of no immobilization, immediate full weight bearing as tolerated, and early return to sports. A prospective, randomized study of isolated meniscal repair comparing various rehabilitation protocols is needed to resolve the controversial issue of postrepair rehabilitation. Verf.-Referat
