AB To preserve knee function, surgical repair is indicated when ameniscal root disinsertion occurs. However, this surgery has not yet achievedcomplete recovery of the joint´s natural biomechanics, with the meniscus-sutureinterface identified as a potentially determining factor. Knowing the deformationand resistance behavior of the sutured meniscal horn and whether theseproperties are preserved as the patient ages could greatly contribute toimproving repair outcomes. Regarding the influence of age on the sutured meniscal horn tissue,in vitro experimentation revealed that meniscal horn specimens older than75 years old had a more elastic tissue which was less resistant to cut-out thanyounger menisci at the suture hole area. However, a thickening of the meniscalhorns with age, which was also found, leveled out the difference in the force thatinitiated the tear, as well as in the maximum force borne by the meniscus in theload-to-failure test.
