Age influence on resistance and deformation of the human sutured meniscal horn in the inmediate postoperative period. Peña Trabalón, Alejandro Pérez-Blanca, Ana Moreno-Vegas, Salvador Estébanez-Campos, María Belén Prado-Novoa, María Menisco - Cirugía Biomecánica To preserve knee function, surgical repair is indicated when a meniscal root disinsertion occurs. However, this surgery has not yet achieved complete recovery of the joint´s natural biomechanics, with the meniscus-suture interface identified as a potentially determining factor. Knowing the deformation and resistance behavior of the sutured meniscal horn and whether these properties are preserved as the patient ages could greatly contribute to improving repair outcomes. Regarding the influence of age on the sutured meniscal horn tissue, in vitro experimentation revealed that meniscal horn specimens older than 75 years old had a more elastic tissue which was less resistant to cut-out than younger menisci at the suture hole area. However, a thickening of the meniscal horns with age, which was also found, leveled out the difference in the force that initiated the tear, as well as in the maximum force borne by the meniscus in the load-to-failure test. 2024-09-30T12:42:23Z 2024-09-30T12:42:23Z 2024-09-30T12:42:23Z 2024 journal article Peña-Trabalon A, Perez-Blanca A, Moreno-Vegas S, Estebanez Campos MB and Prado-Novoa M (2024), Age influence on resistance and deformation of the human sutured meniscal horn in the immediate postoperative period.
