Background: Pullout repairs of medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs) have many surgical options. However, there has been no reliable clinical study conducted to compare the superiority of each pullout repair technique. The current study hypothesized that pullout repairs using a modified Mason-Allen suture with FasT-Fix (F-MMA) would have several advantages in postoperative clinical outcomes and meniscal healing compared with single FasT-Fix. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical usefulness of these two techniques in treating MMPRTs. Methods: Thirty-eight patients who had complete MMPRTs were included. All patients underwent transtibial pullout repairs. To compare the clinical usefulness between pullout repairs using single FasT-Fix and F-MMA techniques, patients were divided into two groups. Second-look arthroscopic evaluations of meniscal healing were performed at one year postoperatively. Clinical outcomes were assessed using: Lysholm and visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores, and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). Results: Single FasT-Fix and F-MMA pullout repairs improved clinical outcomes in patients with MMPRTs. At second-look arthroscopy, VAS pain, KOOS pain, and arthroscopic meniscal healing scores following F-MMA pullout repairs were superior to those after single FasT-Fix pullout repairs. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that F-MMA suture configuration obtained better meniscal healing and superior clinical outcomes compared with single FasT-Fix repairs in patients with MMPRTs. These results suggest that the F-MMA pullout repair may possibly reduce knee pain in arthroscopic treatments of MMPRTs. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
