| pubmed-article:15754231 | pubmed:abstractText | Early osteoarthritis of the knee is a common consequence ofA'complete meniscectomy. In order to prevent degenerative changes, meniscus replacement by autogenous quadriceps tendon was performed from 1986 until 1999 in 45 patients. In 29 patients, a reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament was done simultaneously. This study was intended to detect whether this meniscus replacement led to better subjective, clinical and radiological results in comparison to meniscectomised knees or meniscal allografts reported in the literature. | lld:pubmed |
