Primary Outcome

description of the results of repairs of meniscal lesions in pediatric traumatology

Summary

Meniscal lesions are common in pediatrics and mainly affect adolescents. These lesions can
 jeopardize the functional prognosis of the knee in the short, medium or long term if they are
 not well managed.
 
 More precisely, it is a question of determining whether arthroscopic repair of isolated
 meniscal lesions in children gives good results and what factors influence them, with the aim
 of improving the care of children suffering from meniscal lesions.
 
 The treatment of meniscal lesions comes down to either conservative or restorative treatment
 or non-conservative treatment by meniscectomy. For most authors, the treatment of meniscal
 lesions must remain restorative through meniscal suture, leaving no room for meniscectomy.
 The open approach has given way to the arthroscopic approach which, according to the
 literature, is the gold standard. Meniscal lesions are varied and therefore there are
 numerous therapeutic procedures. Therapeutic indications are precise but the results of the
 treatments remain differently assessed depending on the studies; studies evaluating the
 results of treatment in the pediatric population are few in number.
 
 Based on this observation, the present study aims to describe the results of repairs of
 meniscal lesions in pediatric traumatology.
