Özet
Introduction: Radial meniscus tears are seen in young patients, especially with anterior cruciate ligamentruptures. Repair of complete radial meniscus tear is necessary for the meniscus functions. The mostimportant factor for success of the meniscus repair is primary stability, but it is still unknown whichtechnique is ideal repair technique.Aim: We developed a new suture technique named Horizontal Butterfly (HB). In this novel technique thecontact between meniscal tissue and suture is more than Horizontal Loop (HL) that routinely used today.So, we think that this technique will provide better fixation than HL. We aimed to compare 2 repairtechniques (HB vs. HL) using human lateral menisci biomechanically with cyclic loading and load tofailure tests.Material-method: We used 22 intact lateral meniscus obtained from patients that operated (total kneereplacement) for varus gonarthrosis in our clinic. All menisci were cut radially. In the first group (n:11)menisci were repaired with standard horizontal loop technique, and in the second group (n:11) horizontalbutterfly technique were used for repair. All specimens were tested with load to failure test aftercyclic loading test (500 cycle X 5e30 N).Results: Both groups have similar failure load (71,4 ± 17,52 N vs. 77,9 ± 28,49 N; p:0,559) and stiffness(24,46 ± 19,19 N vs. 24,48 ± 15,87 N; p:0,818). HB group has less peak displacement (6,26 ± 1,24 mm vs.8,4 ± 1,92 mm; p:0,010).Conclusion: This novel repair technique decreases the amount of displacement according to standardtechnique while as strong as standard technique routinely used. In this way; we believe that it willincrease the rate of healing in clinical use.
