4岁儿童内侧半月板撕裂行关节镜手术治疗1例报告

Arthroscopic Repair for Medial Meniscus Tear: a Case Report of a 4-year-old Boy

本文报道1例4岁患儿摔伤右膝关节，曾石膏固定无好转，诊断为半月板撕裂于2014年6月入院。我们应用4．0 mm、30°关节镜头，对内侧半月板后角撕裂予Fast-Fix缝合修复。术后3个月无疼痛不适，负重行走，关节活动度0°～135°；4个月复查MRI显示半月板撕裂已经部分愈合。我们认为常规关节镜器械可以完成幼儿半月板撕裂修复手术。

[Summary] This paper reported a case of 4-year-old boy suffered with medial meniscus tear treated by arthroscopic repair in our hospital.After the boy injured his knee , plaster was applied for 4 weeks.Without any symptomatic progress , he was hospitalized with the diagnosis of medial meniscus tear .We performed arthroscopic meniscus repair , using 4.0-mm arthroscopy.At 3-month follow-up, the boy could full-bearing walk with no pain or discomfort , with a range of motion of 0°-135°.The post-operational MRI at the fourth month showed preliminary healing of repaired meniscus .We believe that regular arthroscopic instruments can accomplish meniscus repair in young children .
