Video Summary
Henry Ellis from Dallas presents findings from the SCORE Study Group’s multi-center registry analyzing over 3,700 pediatric meniscus repairs, mostly combined with ACL surgeries. The study tracked complications using a modified Clavian-Dindo classification, focusing on grades 2 and 3. They found an overall complication rate of about 11%, higher (14.25%) in isolated meniscus repairs, predominantly due to failed repairs within 8 months. No specific factors like tear location or implant type significantly impacted failure rates. Early data suggest meniscus repair in youth is generally safe without neurovascular injury. Long-term outcomes beyond 2 years are needed to better assess success rates.
