Notes:
In a retrospective study, the consequences of arthroscopic meniscal resection in athletes with stable knees were analyzed. We found that 36% had been obliged to reduce or quit their sport activity 8.6 years after surgery. The risk factors associated with reduced sport ability were meniscal lesions other than the bucket-handle type, high age and involvement in ball games. Competitive athletes were not more at risk than recreational athletes. Forty-nine percent had at least one sign of arthrosis in the operated knee. More than one sign of Fairbank's degenerative changes were associated with reduced sports performance.
