Clinical Trial Summary

Clinical and comparative evaluation of the treatment results of arthroscopic reconstruction of the medial meniscus of the knee joint using the Fast Fix and FiberStitch systems.


Description:

The main goal of the project is to evaluate the results of medial meniscus traumatic injury suturing. Further (detailed) objectives are: to compare the results obtained in the study groups of suturing the medial meniscus with the use of two systems: Fast Fix (smith & nephew) and Fiber Stitch (arthrex). The results refering to the operated limb will be compared in both groups between themselves and furthermore with the results of clinical and biomechanical studies on non-operated limbs.

Primary Tegner Activity Level Scale (TAS); The Tegner Activity Scale (TAS) aims to provide a standardized method in determining the level of activity prior to injury and level of activity post injury that can be documented on a numerical scale.
The Tegner activity scale is a one-item score that graded activity based on work and sports activities on a scale of 0 to 10. Zero represents disability because of knee problems and 10 represents national or international level soccer.

Primary IKDC SUBJECTIVE KNEE EVALUATION FORM Interpreted as a measure of function, such that higher scores represent higher levels of function and lower levels of symptoms. A score of 100 is interpreted to mean no limitation with sporting activities or daily living and the complete absence of symptoms. 1 day

Primary Knee Society Score (KSS); The Knee Society Score (KSS) evaluates the clinical picture in terms of pain intensity, range of motion and stability in the anteroposterior and mediolateral planes, flexion deformities, contractures and poor alignment, and is widely used in clinic and mentioned in orthopedic literature.
Grading for the Knee Society Score:
80-100 - excellent;
70-79 - good;
60-60 - fair;
below 60 - poor.

Primary Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS); The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) is a self-reported outcome measure assessing the patient's opinion about the health, symptoms, and functionality of their knee.
It holds 42 items in 5 separately scored subscales; Pain, other Symptoms, Function in daily living (ADL), Function in Sport and Recreation (Sport/Rec), and knee-related Quality of Life (QOL).
Scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale, with zero representing extreme knee problems and 100 representing no knee problems as is common in orthopaedic assessment scales and generic measures. Scores between 0 and 100 represent the percentage of total possible score achieved.
