MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ceterix® Orthopaedics, Inc., a developer of novel surgical tools for arthroscopic procedures, today announced results of a systematic literature review evaluating the success rate of repairing horizontal meniscus tears, a common type of knee injury.
Patients with horizontal tears often undergo meniscectomy – partial removal of the meniscus – based on the commonly-held opinion that meniscus repair is not effective for this tear type. However, meniscectomy has well-established limitations and long-term consequences, including the increased risk of arthritis.1 Ceterix Orthopaedics sponsored this independent review of published clinical studies related to the repair of horizontal cleavage tears.
