🌟Failed Meniscal Repair 🌟

1️⃣ Signal intensity

  • Definitively surfacing T2 high signal (such as fluid signal) after at least three months following the initial repair.  
  • Sensitivity and specificity of approximately 60% and 90%

 

2️⃣ Abnormal meniscal morphology

  • Inconsistencies with prior surgery, a displaced flap, or a tear at a different location 
  • These findings are not common



Recurrent Tear in meniscal repair

When present more than 3 months postoperatively, definitively surfacing fluid-like high T2-weighted signal is specific for tear of a repaired meniscus, but the sensitivity of this finding on MR imaging is limited
