Clinical Trial Summary
In this thesis study, the transtibial pullout method, which is one of the treatment methods
for medial meniscus posterior root tear, will be used in patients over the age of 18 with
medial meniscus posterior root tear, who applied to the Atatürk University Orthopedics and
Traumatology clinic. The patients will be divided into two groups. In the first group, after
knotting the posterior root of the medial meniscus with a fiber rope, a tunnel will be opened
for the rope to pass through the medial of the proximal crest of the tibia. Then,
arthroscopically, the rope will be taken through the joint and passed through the tunnel, and
the knot will be fixed to the tibia by using the endobutton elevator system. In the second
group, the first stage of fixation is the same, and fixation to the tibia will be done with
an endobutton by tying a free knot without using an elevator system. The clinical and
radiological scores of both groups just before the operation and at the twelve months after
the operation will be calculated and their relationship with each other will be examined.
Description:
This thesis study is planned as a prospective study and approximately 30 patients with medial
meniscus posterior root tear over the age of 18 who will apply to Erzurum Atatürk University
Research Hospital Orthopedics and Traumatology clinic are planned to participate in this
study. Based on a study by Yuki et al. (reference 3), the difference in the Lysholm score in
the first group, which will be fixed with the elevator system, in the preoperative and
postoperative sixth month was 33± 10 units, and in the second group, the difference in the
preoperative and postoperative sixth month was 20± 14 units to be statistically significant,
it was calculated with the G*POWER 3.1.9.4 program that 15 patients from each group should be
taken at 80% power and 95% confidence level, a total of 30 patients. Patients will be divided
into two groups of 15 people each. The endobutton elevator system will be used in the tibial
fixation of the first group. In the tibial fixation of the second group, the endobutton free
knot technique will be used. Demographic information of the patients will be recorded. Vas
score, Lysholm score and Kellgren-lawrance classification will be made for the patients in
these two groups, according to the results of the outpatient clinic control just before the
operation and at the twelve months after the operation. This will be done by a physician who
is in our entire follow-up clinic and does not go into the surgery of the patients. The
clinical scores and radiological degenerative changes of these two groups just before the
operation and at the twelve months after the operation will be examined
