23.01.2022 Cartilage Tears Need Surgery .... Or Do They? We previously looked at the importance of symptoms matching imaging, which is valid throughout the body. We particularly referenced the knees and in this mythbuster I wanted to stay at the knee and look at the evidence for a common screening question that has long been used for meniscal tears. The questioning of patients for catching, clunking, locking or blocking in the knee joints is commonly used to work out if further testing ...of the meniscus is required. A recent study comparing the reported symptoms and findings at surgery call into question the sensitivity of the questions, the benefit of surgery and how effective surgery is long term as it has been shown to be associated with increased degeneration and increased rates of joint replacement. This is particularly relevant when considering the goal of meniscal surgery is the preservation of the cartilage. A review of recent research has shown: there is a poor relationship between the reported symptoms and the finding of tears at surgery. In a study of 817 patients, 434 (53%) of the 641 with cartilage tears at surgery had catching or locking, while 64% that did have catching or locking did not have tears. Thorlund BJSM 2018. there are many false positive findings on imaging meaning tears seen on imaging were not seen at surgery. location, tear pattern and size aren’t related to pain intensity or knee joint function. surgeons can’t predict who will respond well to surgery over non-invasive treatment. sham surgery (where nothing is actually done) is as effective as actual surgery on suspected meniscal tears. the idea that traumatic knee injuries in younger people respond better to surgery to resect the cartilage than degenerative tears is not supported by evidence. surgery to partially resect knee cartilage has a significantly higher risk of total knee replacement than the normal population. in the case of age related degeneration surgery is no better than exercise for function, pain, strength and performance. Recent guidelines suggest that referral to exercise and other non-operative treatments should occur in the absence of joint blocking. Following from previous advice and with simple common sense, the best and most effective advice is to take the least invasive, most effective and least expensive treatments first before escalating to more invasive, more expensive and riskier options. If you have any questions or would like to see our orthopaedic specialist Physio’s give us a call or book an appointment now.
