Brief Summary:
Meniscus injury is common in sports-active population, and partial or total meniscectomy is standard surgery for meniscal tear. Meniscus plays an important role in load transferring, shock absorbing, knee joint stabilizing and chondral protection. Plenty of studies indicate that meniscus-deficiency increases the risk of OA and cause long-term poor outcomes.
Spontaneous human meniscus regeneration is rarely reported and whether regenerated meniscus is chondral-protective and can prevent OA progression remain unknown. During our clinical practice, we have encountered many cases with complete meniscal regeneration under arthroscopy. In this study, we will include all the patients who receiving meniscectomy and ACL reconstruction and knee arthroscopy 2 years after primary surgery. Patients demographic characters will be reviewed. The resected meniscus in the primary surgery and biopsied regenerated meniscus will be analyzed by histological and immunohistochemical method and their ultrastructure will be observed by electron microscope. Patients will be followed at 2-, 5- and 10-year after the primary surgery and the cartilage degeneration and OA progression will be assessed.
